Just bought used Wilson audio Sophia 1 and Wilson audio center channel comments


Hi


I just bought a used pair of Wilson audio Sophias and a Wilson center speaker (They have not arrived yet).  Can anyone comment on these speakers. They are an upgrade for me replacing Focal 918 profile black diamonds and a focal older model Electra 900 center have focal surrounds and (2)  JL Audio 10  subs  Marantz 7100 pre amp processor and Parasound  5 channel power amp

Anyway would love to hear comments good or bad about these speakers or for that matter about my home theater.  Don't have deep pockets and this is a big jump for me,  Can't wait till they arrive.  The center looks like WALL E from Disney

Thanks for any reponse or comments

The Sophia 1 is quite special, I have had mine for 9 years and are using them in a two channel system which I have just recently posted on the virtual systems on agon if you would like to see some of the associated equipment I am using them with please take a look. Some notes here, I also had a pair of the Sophia 2s and preferred the 1s which I have kept, have used them with Pass Labs Canary, CJ solid state and settled on the VTLS as you will see in the system and they allowed each application to really shine there strengths but didn't realize how good they were till I pulled a 30 year old B&K ST140 out of my closet to use while I had the VTL rebuilt and was really blown away. The preference for the 1s over the 2s is probably not the general consensus for most but did have both at the same time. Enjoy those bad boys and congratulations. Tooblue

Thank you rcprince for reiterating that point, I think it is very valid and that I did want that point to be perceived but didn't t quite get it to where I meant to, thank you, and I do believe if he liked his amp before, he will love it now. Tooblue
