I find the world of the WP8 interesting....it was the speaker that I stronger considered going to after the Sophia2s...but I just couldn't get comfortable with the musicality of the 8s...I actually preferred the continuity/wholeness of cloth that the Sophia 2 offered...but ultimately went in another direction...I am not a Wilson hater...love lots of things they do...but the more I focused on the music....rather than the reproduction of sound...led me away from Wilson...if I was to return...it would either be the Sophia 2...or Maxx2...not the WP8

I sold my Sophia 2s to guy....who just to make sure also bought a pair of WP8s....he ended up keeping the Sophias...for approximately the same reason the I deleted them off my list...and if I was doing Wilson I would have kept the Sophia 2s...or the Maxx 2s...which in all listening seemed to be an upgrade over the 8s...an excellent speaker...just too much intrusion for my space....I think the 8s are a sideways retune from the 7s....and if you look at the one guy who measured them both...Atkinson of Stereophile...from what I saw the 7s were significantly better....but perhaps I wasn't interpreting the data correctly..
