Wilson Sophia2, Watt/Puupy 8, differences?

Ok, so I've auditioned both of these speaker systems (twice no less) and yes, the W/P 8's go deeper in the bass. Yes, the W/P 8's are a little bit more exciting because of their larger dynamic range. I was surprised by how well the Sophia2's did though considering they're half the price of the W/P 8 system. The midrange on both of these guys was very similar. Vocals sounded good on both. I'd love to hear from others out there the pros/cons of these two speakers. The Sophia2 is definitely better bang for the buck. On a Cd that i'm intimately familiar with, the bass on the W/P 8's shook the walls of the room, the Sophia's didn't. The upper end as far as I can remember sounded pretty unmemorable. That is it sounded about right. I would still give the edge in the upper end to the Focals I demoed a couple of weeks ago, their Berilyum tweeter implementation was top notch. Any advice???

advice?

y. you've heard them twice, so don't let anyone on this board influence you. if you cannot afford the WP8s, at least you know you're not missing THAT much w/ the sophias.

if you can, salut!

(what i don't know is how the rest of your rig is: i'd always prefer to have lesser speakers w/ better ancillaries than better speakers that will sound bad b/c i can't budget for better ancillaries as i spent too much on speakers!)
