Wilson Sophia or Watt Puppy 5.1


I have been considering the Wilson Audio Speakers and would appreciate some input from Audiogon Members.

The 5.1s are about 8 years old and the Sophias I'm looking at are 1 year old.

They both sound wonderfull with my Sugden, 33 watt Integrated.

Just need some feedback from members, before taking the plunge.
Thanks.

If there isn't a significant cost differential I'd prefer the Sophias. The Sophias are a more refined design than the 5.1s. I feel this shows up most when the system is played quietly. At reduced volume the 5.1s are comparably a trifle colorless and washed out tonally. I also feel that the Sophias perform brilliantly with a variety of medium powered amps, whereas, I have observed that the 5.1s are only at their best with greater amounts of power.
Avguygeorge,

Well, if you're getting it from Brooks you're getting it straight. He's the best, in my estimation.
