Upgrade from KEF 107.2 > Sophia or Andra


Hi guys,

I’m currently using the beautiful refurbished KEF 107.2 and loving the full range presentation. It can go deep to 20hz without subs have a beautiful presence.

I used to have the LS50 Meta (with dual REL) and missing its holographic soundstage and superb details. However in everything else the KEF 107.2 trumps it.

I’m now thinking of upgrading and have few options to choose from. Prefer to have another full range speaker without additional subs if possible.

1. Wilson Audio Sophia 1

2. Egglestonworks Andra 1

3. Pioneer S-1EX.

4. Thiel CS 3.7

5. Diatone DS-5000


I’m running them with refurbished Yamaha C-1 and B-1 vfets amps with Marantz SACD SA-14S1 and Technics SL-10 with EPS-310MC. Planning to add Minidsp Flex once it’s available again to optimise.

I’m leaning towards the Sophia and Andra. Both are approx the same price here in Australia. Will the Andra be better than the Sophia?

Regards

Thanks @yakbob 

That's my hesitation with the modern slimmer speakers, I haven't found one that can have the same full range performance as the old beast.

The Andra specs looks better on paper than the Sophia. With bigger cabinet, more drivers and dual bigger woofers as well.
