Pre/power or Int Amp for Wilson Sophias?


Hi all (esp Sophias owners),
planning my future system, and intend to build it around the Wilson Sophias..... looking for laid back (or non aggressive) and non-fatigue (long listening), detail and good control in bass.......... bright is a BIG no no......

Budget is not more than 8k. Would prefer SS system.

Please kindly share your comments, experiences and views.

Many Thanks!

If you can skip the SS, you might consider Balanced Audio. You could go SS on the amp, tube pre. The tube pre's, especially used the 6h30 tube are about as care free as ss. Tube change every 3-5 years. You'd really never know there were tubes in there unless you peek.

Maybe a vk31SE and a vk250, vk500, vk200 amp.

BAT's integated is a good choice to for 1/2 your budget.
