There is a good photo in my virtual systems page that shows the components on the back wall, and I also uploaded the room schematic there as well. Looking at both will give you a quick understanding of the environment. Thanks!
Wilson Watt Puppy 7 or Sophia 2 for my room and gear?
Hello, I am considering the purchase of either the Wilson Watt Puppy 7 or Sophia 2. The have similar values on the 2nd hand market. Arguments can be made for both - The Sophia 2 is newer, more attractive, more updated, perhaps easier to drive and more forgiving? The Watt Puppy 7 is the best of the legendary Watt Puppy series. I see that the WP7 is more sensitive than the Sophia 2, but the Sophia has been called easier to drive.
I am using an Audio Research VT100 mkII 100 watt tube amp with an Audio Research LS25 tube preamp. The rest of my gear can be seen here: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/5421
My room is an inverted L shape. I made a schematic that shows the shape, dimensions, and details here: http://www.marktomaras.com/3106878-audio#1
The blue squares in the schematic are the current Rockport Monitors (to scale & also currently for sale)
The distance between the Rockport tweeters is about 9.7 feet and the distance from the tweeter to my listening position is about 10.5 feet. There is a bit of room for movement in the speaker placement as can be seen in the schematic, but not a huge amount.
My question is, with my room, shaped as it is, real world items such as windows, and my audio equipment other than speakers (which will not be changed any time soon), which Wilson is going to perform better?
