New Wilson Sasha VS Wilson Audio Sophia 2
Bjbcab,I have a Nagra PL-L mated to MX-Rs driving W/P 7s. It's a great combination. If you do purchase a PL-L, make sure you buy the VPS isolation stand withit. Even on a Monaco Grand Prix Audio stand it makes a difference. Good luck!

SHM-SACDs
Pricing is expensive, about $65. Layla, 461 and Who's Next are already out as SACDs so I'm not sure what's different with these.

speaker cables for Wilson Sophia
I've been using Cardas Golden Ref for years. I just had them reterminated using their new forging process for an even smoother transparent presentation. I partner my WP7s w/ Ayre MX-Rs. I had a ML335 before that.
