WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?

Are Wilsons the best? are they worth the money? Looking at used watt puppy 8 or Sophia 3.

There are better more accurate speakers for less money but I really like wilsons. The Sophia 3 has great bass and solid mids. The highs might be the only deal breaker as many don’t care for the older focal tweeters. I think they are fine but the highs are not as clean as the new crop of wilson, Focals, etc.

They could be getting a little old. Make sure you check the foam around the tweeter. The Sophia 3 sounds pretty close to the Sasha to me. The Sophia with its fixed head is more limited in setup. But within that setup (9-12 seating distance) there is less of a difference than one would expect for the price. You could probably find some old reviews of the Sasha comparing them to the 8s and read between the lines a bit for a glimpse of how the 3 might compare to the 8.
