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.

I worked the last Stereophile show. We had two rooms. One with the Sophia and one with the Quattros. Both are good. If it were my decision and my money I would buy the Sophia. It is an exceptional speaker that, I feel, is a bit more refined than the Vandersteen. That being said, both are excellent.
Steve,

You sound like you are on a Vandersteen crusade. They are wonderful speakers as is the Sophia. I can't imagine anyone hearing them not being impressed even if they prefer
something else. I could live, happily, with either.
