Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1

For what it is worth, I have heard both at a dealers. I would never have thought to compare the two, they are in totally different leagues, or at least in my opinion. The Wilsons are far superior in musicality, they deliver a much deeper defined bass. Also the mids and highs will have a much more accurate timbre and presentation of sound field. Don’t misunderstand, I think the Golden Ear speaker line is a phenomenal value and could be priced higher and not hurt their footing in the marketplace. But I still think of the two, the Wilson will be much more pleasing, especially with classical music.
Again just my experience from hearing both and the impression they both made on me.

Very helpful....thanks.

Great question to show that "which is best" opinions are a dime a dozen. 

I've heard Wilson speakers off and on since the 1980s and have never been overly impressed -- I always think "hi-fi" when I hear them as opposed to "music." I much prefer the Tritons and they are one of the best values new on the market. 

Wilson, like any other high-end audiophile product that's been around a while, has its followers. I'm just not one of them. You will need to listen to both to find out which camp you're in. That's not a choice anyone else can make for you. 

I have listened to the Golden Ears and the Wilson Sabrina. The Wilson's were hands-down better in my opinion. (I haven't heard the Sophias, but I would buy a pair if the price was right).
As mlsstl said, opinions are a dime a dozen, so YMMV. If you want more details, let me know.
