Wilson Audio sophia 3 or Watt Puppy 6

Lenny_zwik,

I sold my Sophia 3s with the intention of going to Sasha's. Now I'm thinking of WP8s. Have you had the opportunity to compare the WP7 or WP8 directly to Sophia 3s. It's my understanding that the Sophia 3s have a slighter better mid-range, but WP7 and WP8 do everything else better.

Not much difference IMO between 7s and 8s. The 8s were mostly about replacing the lead damping internally to comply with EU lead free specs. However, the Sashas are significantly better. Smoother bass, the mid bass hump some say were Wilson's weakness in the WP line has been eliminated and the treble is very smooth.If you can afford the Sashas, no question.

No question, Sophia 3, all the way.

Sophia 1 was better than W/P6
Sophia 2 was better than W/P7
Sophia 3 is better than W/P8

And, yes, I have extensive listening experience, in a variety of systems, of all of these combinations.

Thanks for your response. I've listen to Sasha's several times and to my ears they are significantly better than Sophia 3s. Sasha's just do something that Sophia 3sjust can't do. I'm just trying to exhaust all less expensive options prior to getting Sasha's. My wallet just doesn't like what my ears are telling me!

I notice that you compare Sophia IIIs to Sasha's.
