My dad and I listened to the Wilson and the Vandersteen at seperate dealers and have the same issue you have..both are really nice and great sounding. I think we both prefered the Vandy as it was a bit less detailed (again it is hard to say with seperate rooms, equipment and so on) the Wilson sure wins in looks! Not to say detail is a bad thing but the Vandy had a more polite musical flow and we both really like the bass loading adjustments the Vandy has. Again the Wilson was a blast to listen to but the Vandy was what we enjoyed a bit more.
Sophia 2 vs. Vandersteen Quatro
Can you all help? I'm considering the quatros or the Sophia 2s. I realize that they're different but wanted some opinions on which is better. I really like the sound of both but it's hard to decipher b/c I've listened at different dealers in different rooms with different equipment. Has anyone compared the two? Thanks for the help.
