Missioncoonery,The problem with buying another line is I love the Wilson Sound...especially their dynamics. 
Wilson Sophia 3
James63Thanks for the advice and I understand about the used market value. I'm not well off, I got to this point after 20 years as an audiophile, trading and saving over the years to get where I am. $5000 is significant to me! 
Wilson Sophia 3
I was happy with my Sophia 2's; however the right speaker has developed a razor thin crack in the cabinet between the top and bottom portion of the speaker after only 10 months. Of course it's under warranty; however I have been given the option o... 
Wilson Sophia 3
I have the Sophia 2's, has anyone had the opportunity to compare the 2's vs the 3's. Most upgrades seem to be marketing and offer minor sonic changes. If anyone could provide insight into the sonic differences between them I would apreciate it! 
My findings on Magico V2.....what now?
JtimothyaI had AP Virgo III's and because of the price difference between the Virgo's and Sophia II's it's an unfair comparison.My wife wanted the Sophia II's after she heard them, so I will provide you her comments, "Wow, they sound live compared...

Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
I currently own Sophia II's and was considering changing to Magico V2's; however after listening at length, I decided that the Sophia II's were more balanced. In addition, I loved the dynamics of the Sophia's. On a side note: my listening room is ...

I use Densen B-350 mono-amps. 
Audio in Austin
I live in Cibolo, TX, about 45 minutes from Austin. I have a decent system based on Wilson Sophia II's. 
Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe?
I've read one of your prior post, concerning the lack of bass output with your current equipment. At least that was my understanding of your post. I have an opinion, I didn't say it was a fact. I use this forum to give food for thought, based on m... 
Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe?
I didn't say high wattage, I said high current, which are two different things. Of course other factors such as: type of music, preferred listening volume, and the size of listening room can influence which amp an individual prefers. You don't hav... 
Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe?
I've had my Sophia II's for a couple of months now. I believe they need high current amplifiers. I am running them with Densen 350 mono amps with very good results. If set-up correctly Wilson Sophia II's are not bright; as with any speakers it's a...
