IMHO the first speaker for an audiophile is the Vandy signature 2CE MK2 then the Thiel 2.4 then the Thiel 3.7 or the Wilson Sophia 2s, then finally graduating to the Magico v3s! Believe me or not from the Vandy 2CE sig mk2 to the Magico3 is only about a 15% increase in speaker evolution. All these speakers are great!
Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7
Anyone compare the two directly?
Looking for detailed impressions on these two loudspeakers only if you feel you auditioned them in their absolute best light. Mis-matched systems and problems with synergy don't really reveal what a speaker can do, so be honest and voice your opinion only if you really know the strengths and weakness of each speaker.
Bass:
Which one went deeper, tighter more impactful, tuneful?
Midrange:
Which one had more presence, texture, tonal accuracy, inner detail, transparency?
Highs:
Which one extended farther, had less grain, sounded most natural?
Overall:
Which one was more coherent, dynamic, resolving, transparent?
Which one had a wider soundstage, fuller images, shaper images, better depth, layering, separation of instruments?
Which one has the more accurate tone for acoustic instruments?
Again, looking purely for sonic differences, how do they honestly compare to each other?
Thanks!
