Wilson Sophia or Watt Puppy 5.1


I have been considering the Wilson Audio Speakers and would appreciate some input from Audiogon Members.

The 5.1s are about 8 years old and the Sophias I'm looking at are 1 year old.

They both sound wonderfull with my Sugden, 33 watt Integrated.

Just need some feedback from members, before taking the plunge.
Thanks.

If there isn't a significant cost differential I'd prefer the Sophias. The Sophias are a more refined design than the 5.1s. I feel this shows up most when the system is played quietly. At reduced volume the 5.1s are comparably a trifle colorless and washed out tonally. I also feel that the Sophias perform brilliantly with a variety of medium powered amps, whereas, I have observed that the 5.1s are only at their best with greater amounts of power.
Siliab:I was over to my Wilson dealer.--That be Mr. Brooks Berdan.--He said just about what you said;nearly word for word. I did ask him this very question as I was listening to the Soph. Loved that finish and color.
Avguygeorge,

Well, if you're getting it from Brooks you're getting it straight. He's the best, in my estimation.
