Wilson Sophia 2


I am looking at Wilson Sophia 2's and have never owned a Wilson product. Has anyone regretted getting them in the context of a high end tube preamp / solid state preamp system? If so, please elaborate.
Also, do they sound full at low volumes or do they need some juice to avoid sounding thin?
Btw I am using Bat vk52se pre and Bat vk600se amp, all kubala cabling and esoteric ux3se cd player.
Thanks to everyone, I have to buy without trying them first.
Best Regards,
Bill

Wilson Audio makes some of the most accurate transducers in the industry,
and are "accused" of being overly revealing. Without hearing a Wilson speaker, especially one with a metal-dome tweeter first, would possibly be a very serious mistake. Plus read some reviews that describe moving a wilson
speaker a couple of inches that can totally change the sound from the listening position. this could be either a very good thing or a very bad thing, depending on your room, your wire, just about everything upstream that might need improving or replacing. Of course on the upside, you won't find a speaker that produces a more magical 3D image and specificity of everything in a given recording if conditions are mostly favorable.
