I suspect you're talking very different costs from a pair of Aerial 7bs at under $2K, a pair of Sophia 1s or 2s in the $5-6K range, to a pair of 7Ts in the $10K range.

Wilson Sophia vs Aerial 7/9
My next speaker move will likely be to full range, so trying to start understanding how models compare.
I've read good things about these here for years, and recently heard the Sophia 3 at a local store and was impressed. (not to mention the Sasha, omg that was some experience, driven by a pair of Ayre mx-r, but out of my price range alas). The Sophia 1/2 used are in my range, as are the 7b/9. Of course the lower models would be a more comfortable spend but if pressed I could save longer for the higher.
Wide range of music, so hard to pin down on that. More to the rock/pop/jazz side of things than classical, but some of that as well.
Amplification is Ayre AX-7e. (Is this even a good match for either of these speakers?) Should I be considering something else?
Thanks for any advice or insight.
