| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. Musicslug -GOOD QUESTION!The Sophias are broken in. They were purchased and set up by an authorized dealer as a "demo" pair.My dealer is pushing VTL MB450 SII and VTL 6.5 pre, but at $26.5k, plus CA taxes, I don't see the value. The MB450s at $15k... | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. Thank you both, SS is convenient, but if there are no SS amps that can do what I'm looking for, then I welcome tubes...Forgot to mention, would like to run balanced as the Ayre K1xe performs best in balanced mode along with my Plinius CD101 and I'... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Anyone else audition these two loudspeakers? | |

| Wilson Sophia 2 or Focal Electra 1037 be? Repaint that back wall!Which midrange do you prefer, the Sophia 2's or the SF? | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Fjn04,I know what you mean! That's why I was so specific in my first post about asking for opinions only if you feel you really have auditioned each speaker properly and in their best light. I'll definitely have to visit my Vandy dealer again and ... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Thanks for the responses everyone.Elberoth2, your impressions are very helpful, given you have directly compared the two. Someone asked about imaging capabilities, I'd be interested to hear which one you found to be a better imager, and which one ... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Thanks for the responses. I suppose my original post was too long and specific, any general comments are welcomed, especially given the fact that the Thiel CS3.7 is new and not many people may have had a chance to directly compare the two.Unsound,... | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 Anybody? Let's get some feedback! What do you think? | |
| SF Cremona Auditors - Recommend new Amp/CD Just to update:I've scored a killer deal on the floor standing Cremonas, so I jumped on them. A Cremona Auditor with Rel sub versus the Cremonas is close, but not really. Spend your money on the floor standers if you want a full, coherent sound.I'... | |
| SF Cremona Auditors - Recommend new Amp/CD Thanks again for the suggestions. Dzervas, I have a Rel B2 sub integrated into the system, so that should help somewhat if I were to elect Pathos (cool looking hybrid!)I will try to find dealers for Naim, CJ, Pathos, VTL, Accuphase, Plinius and YB... | |
| Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep? I own the Primare I30 and CD31 with Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors. I auditioned the Primare I21 and CD21 with SF Concertos at the dealer. There isn't a huge leap between the 21 and 31 series, so if you want to have the "Primare" sound but save a fe... | |
| SF Cremona Auditors - Recommend new Amp/CD Hi Mlauner, Care to give a generalization of the sound signature when Naim is paired with Sonus Faber?Thanks for the suggestion! | |
| SF Cremona Auditors - Recommend new Amp/CD Hi Joel,Thanks for the recommendations! Funny we are thinking the same things, I posted before I saw your post! Plinius 9200 has been at the top of my list for a while, and VTL captivated me. I will definately look into Accuphase and see if it'll ... | |
| SF Cremona Auditors - Recommend new Amp/CD Anybody try the Cremona Auditors and VTL 5.5 preamp? How about a VTL 5.5 paired with a Mccormack 225 SS power amp? How about a Plinius 9100?Open to any suggestions (searched the site, not much with direct comparisions to Primare...) |
