Pre/power or Int Amp for Wilson Sophias?


Hi all (esp Sophias owners),

planning my future system, and intend to build it around the Wilson Sophias..... looking for laid back (or non aggressive) and non-fatigue (long listening), detail and good control in bass.......... bright is a BIG no no......

Budget is not more than 8k. Would prefer SS system.

Please kindly share your comments, experiences and views.

Many Thanks!

Rgds.

A good friend of mine has Sophia's and he has tried everything with them. These speakers are both fantastic and forgiving and as such nearly eveything coupled with them produces good results - JC-1's, ARC, BAT, C-J, etc. However, having said that, the very best combination I heard (which he ultimately ended up with) was with Blue Circle equipment. The sound was incredibly musical and intoxicating. You can truly listen for hours without getting fatigued - except maybe your cheeks from grinning so much! Anyhow, I am sure you could get a BC26, Despina and cables to fit your budget - you would be very happy indeed.
