Wilson Watt Puppy 6 or Sophia 2 ?


Can anyone with some extensive ownership or audition experience please give me their feedback on which pair might be better. I have a choice of either for similar amounts. Currently have Revel Studios. I love them, but am looking for better sound in a smaller enclosure. Please let me know your thoughts.

>>>"But, are they better then the Revel Studio series 1?"<<<

Now, there's a question with as many answers and OT suggestions as there are people with an opinion, and all equally worthless to your specific system, room and musical tastes.

Similarly priced speaker systems with proven commercial success and performance are far too sensitive to context and subjective preference for any internet poll to be of use as to "which is better?" The question alone makes me wince on your behalf.

Listen to both in familiar confines and the answer will become obvious. If that can't be easily accomplished, then stay happy where you are.

The Sophia 2 is the Wilson speaker for those people who do not like Wilson speakers.
You cold consider it to be 90% of the W/P 8 for about 50% of the price.
The W/P 6 go for maximum detail, the Sophia 2 is smoother, more integrate, present music in a more relex, musical and listenable.
i was very interested in the sophia's have been for a while, but after comparing for a long time, speaker after speaker, even with sonus, believe it or not, i went to a left field choice in the toem winds. i found them right upthere with the sophia's and 5grand less. but it was a very difficult choice, even compaired to the hanson knights. i just found that the totems soundstage to me was the selling point. though i would be very interested in the way the new sophia 2 sounds. either way, it comes down to your tastes and how they set up in your rooms. remember what works and wins at a demo , might not in your home. just my half a cents worth
I owned Wilson Sophia 2s for about 18 months. I compared them closely to the Revel, the original series...but couldn't get past the looks...for me just too out there. But sonically I think I preferred the Revels. When I listened to the Sophia2s at the dealer...never got by the mid bass emphasis...but the dealer said he could get rid of the undue warmth with careful setup...and he did. Ultimately I replaced them with Rockports...after thinking that I would get WP8s...by the way I left the Sophia 2s because there was a certain degree of harshness///rise in the treble that for me greatly hurt the musicality of listening over a long period of time...tiring...but they are excellent speakers

Great line. I will have to remember that !

BTW - to my ears Sophia 2 is just very transpartnt speaker. With the different choice of cables, I can make them sound very fast and a bit bright (as with AQ Sky ICs) or very forgiving (as with Siltech G7 ICs or KS Emotion ICs).
