Revel Studio2, Thiel 3.7 or Wilson Sophia 2

Thanks for the initial comments.

I live in AR and don't have many high end dealers nearby. Therefore, i'm trying to narrow down the options so that I can plan a trip to a metro area to listen.

As for Dynaudio, I'm willing to consider. I have seen some reviews but never have listened to any of their models. Any particular models?

i really appreciate the feedback.

I visited an audio store in Dallas several weeks ago and had the opportunity to hear the Sophia 2's and a pair of my current speakers - the Revel F32's. The difference was very significant. That's what got me to seriously consider upgrading.

Clearly, I do need to upgrade the DVD/CD player. I have been hoping to also upgrade the speakers with a "revolutionary" upgrade. My thoughts are that I would eventually upgrade the Amp and, lastly, the Pre/Pro.

Is the Anthem amp at over 265W @ 4 ohms not enough to drive the Thiel 3.7s?

The challenge is to find several dealers in one city where I can go and listen to at least the Wilson's and the Thiel's. Don't want to remove the Studio2's from the list yet.

Thanks James63. That is what I'm planning on doing. Next year I will upgrade the amp and, probably, the pre/pro as well.

This year I will focus on the speakers and the DVD/CD player.

Now I just have to find store where I can audition the Thiel's.

Step 1 done - bought the Oppo SE with Kimber Hero cables. The improvements have been significant. This player is as good as many have commented - fantastic.

Next up, speakers. Still considering Thiel 3.7's, Revel Studio 2's or Wilson Sophia 2's.
