As a former Sophia 1 owner, I would say 3- because the 3 is basically a mini-Sasha. It has the same tweet and midrange, just gives up a bit of low end and the two box structure (which can be minimized by speaker location). For 11k this is a good deal imo and 40% less than a used pair of Sashas. They also are much easier to drive which is a boon to amplification choices.
Wilson Sophia 1,2, or 3?
I have long been a fan of the Wilson's and recently heard a new pair of Sophia 3 at a dealer. I loved the sound, but the price of a new pair is beyond my budget. As I have bought most of my audio equipment on Audiogon, I have always had good results. Can anyone please tell me the differences between the 1,2, and 3? We would assume that the newer one is better and perhaps more refined, but would a Series 1 at 1/3 the price of a new one be close and good place to start for someone who has never owned a pair of Wilson?
