Wilson Audio Sophia rev 3

Wilson’s do have a ‘house characteristic’. I personally find them a bit harsh with less than incredible recordings. I’d call them honest. 
 

I own Sonus faber and appreciate their voice - my recommendation is try to get a home audition. You ears are what matters. 

@dpm2340 Sophia are full range so they should be ok without subs. Don’t pair them with bright electronics or cables, treat the room (first reflection points on walls and wall behind speakers, rug on floor at a minimum) and you’ll be fine.

Bat + Sophia was my exact combo for several years. Perfect synergy!

You will be fine. They will be slamming for sure but in a good way. Just have to play with front wall distance, make sure you don’t sit on the back wall. 
 

I find the Sophia 3 better than the current Sabrina. The 3 just has much better bass and more drive/slam. Not even close. If you listen to soft audiophile music you might like the sweeter tweeter of the Sabrina better. Use a non harsh front end and the Sophia 3 is real nice. 
 

the perfect listening window is small on the Sophia 3 but not hard to figure out. If you sit too close I find it the sound stage to not be super stable but real nice once locked in. 

Thanks for the help. I listen to a lot of female jazz singers. Krall, Barber etc. Still good? By the sounds bass will be plenty.
