AudiogoN Forums: Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8

Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8

Folks, it seems if I'm about to get a money wise deal on one of those speakers and would like to see your opinion on what would be the better way to go.

The room is 6 x 3.3m (19 x 11 ft), ceiling 3m (9.8ft).

I'm affraid that WP8 would be too much for that small room. Anyone had similar conditions to choose?

Amps would be PassLabs XA-60.5 or XA100.5 PreAmp 10 or 20-th.
