Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce

Hi, this may be a no-brainer but I'm looking for some reassurance. I'm looking for a substantial speaker upgrade over my 2ce's. I'm looking at used Sophia 1s. I also have the vandy sub. The rest of by system is :
vtl preamp
belles 150 v2
vpi Classic 1 with dynavector karat.
thanks!!!!

sinewave93-

much will depend on your budget. Are you prepared to step up to a VTL amp? Transparent cabling is a must to really bring out the Wilson speakers. Happy Listening!

Well I really like my vtl/belles combo... I probably don't have the budget to buy an amp right now....

Never liked those Wilsons...and always liked Vandersteens....You really should listen for yourself.

Thanks... It seems near impossible to really demo something like this unless I literally had a side by side comparison. Listening at a dealer's showroom will always make them sound better and they will always have higher end components. Maybe I am making a false assumption that 5x the cost speakers by a reputable speaker company should be a dramatic upgrade. Thanks anyways y'all
