Wilson Sophia


I have been looking at stepping up from my B&W 704s and heard the 802Ds, the Naut 802s and the Wilson Sophias. I was all set to spend the 4500 on a pair of used 802s but then I heard the Wilsons. All I can say is that the Wilsons absolutely spoke to me. My problem is that this is a huge investment for me and I think that I must be crazy to even be thinking about this purchase. Even more so, because I live in an apartment building and cannot "crank up" my system to massive volume levels.

My question is-am I going to be able to truly appreciate these speakers with my McIntosh MA 6500 integrated and my Lector CD player? There is not going to be any money in my budget to even consider other changes for a long time. Wilson's were set up with mid level Naim gear.

Are there any risks with buying the units off the floor if I can get a deal?

As always thanks for your input.

Happy Holidays back at 'cha, David, (and to everyone). Does your son have his system up and running,yet??
Hi George,

My seven year old son is quite content with his boombox in his room; however, since moving my system to a dedicated room in the basement, this left open the Denon/Paradigm system in the livingroom to both boys. They do enjoy it and the 2 year old now hardly ever uses the Paradigms as a drum :) Rotten kids.
