In my search for a new amp for my Verity Parsifals I spent a day listening to the ARC Ref. 110 with the Sophia II's. It was nice but was a bit forward in the upper mids and a little light in the base. This was with the ARC 26 pre and ref phono, clearaudio TT with concerto cart. It was nice but I have heard the sophia's sound a little more solid on the bottom than this set up. Stunning build quality on those Wilson speakers.
Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2
I recently acquired Wilson Sophia 2's and am enjoying them but I'm wondering if I can do better in terms of amp matching. I currently use Theta Citadel 1.5's. I would prefer a little more midbass (Sophias are currently closer to the front wall than I would like, but pulling them out reduces body).
These speakers aren't overly sensitive (89db) and run at 4ohms.
I also wouldn't mind a little more midrange bloom (I do like tubes!) but don't want to lose anything in the highs.
Amps I've been thinking about: McIntosh, Pass.
Love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks.
