Are Wilson Sophia's more finicky about placement?

You hear about exact placement rituals from Wilson dealers during installation ("the last 1/2" etc.) in their promotional stuff, but are Wilson Sophia's more particular about room placement than most other speakers? I have to move my speakers back against the wall when not in use, and pull them out into the room when I want to listen, so this 1/2" stuff would drive me nuts. Yes, I currently fiddle around a bit with my Aerial 10T's placement when I pull them out (they are on a base with wheels, they had that option for use in recording studios), but they sound good even if I'm not particularly anal about EXACT placement. You can put wheels on Sophias, but would that be a particularly bad choice for a new speaker?

I have owned wilson wp 6's, 8's and now Maxx 2's. Yes they are a little finicky. But most speakers are. These are a little more so to get their best, but they'll still sound pretty good. The Sopia may be a lil more forgiving...

If you need to move them, put some marks on the floor or masking tape etc. If you like Wilsons (I do), they will be fine for you.

All that said, if you want every note of performance, the 1/2 does help...sometimes quite a bit.
