I would say personal preference, and gear synergy should be the deciding factor. However I've heard all 3 of these at length. The Sophias will be the most cooperative with the widest array of gear meaning even a somewhat low powered tube amp will sound pretty good. The other two require high powered amplification and are really designed for high power SS. I personally think the 3.7 is an excellent speaker and a good value. I find the Revels dry and the Sophias over rated.
Revel Studio2, Thiel 3.7 or Wilson Sophia 2
Considering these 3 speakers to upgrade my current system. Room is 16 X 19 by 9.
Current gear:
- Anthem AVM30
- Anthem MCA50
- Denon 2910 (to be replaced shortly with the OPPO 83 SE)
- Revel F32/C32
- Velodyne HGS10
I listen to mostly Jazz (contemporary), some rock and classical.
System is used mostly for music (60-70%) with an occasional movie.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks!
