I have Wilson Watt 8's in a 18 x 13 room on the long wall in a properly treated room with many hours in placement. Driven by Pass X250.5, ARC Ref 6, and a hot rod VPI Super Scout Master Cardas Neutral cables own power line with high end socket and power distribution with $300 power cables.
I cant say enough about this system I'm 54 and been listening to Hi Fi since I was a kid as my father was in the business.
I have had many speakers, but none sound as natural as these, with my Amp I can make them have great bass Slam, imaging is breathtaking, (THis has a lot to do with my Preamp) even my 25 and 26 year old sons who don't care noticed the difference. They are none fatiguining and even sound pretty good outside the sweet spot. Have had them about 2 years. Listen mainly to classic rock and blues. some classical and jazz on the side.
I only herd the original Sofia and it wasn't bad, but it was no Watt 8. And I like them because the head comes off so it splits the weight if I have to move or sell them.
The only way I would sell them is to upgrade to Sasha 2's
