Thanks, Milpai...I appreciate your input

My dealer is saying another few weeks...

Heard the dealers will know more in a month or so...I personally am so happy with my speakers I don't think I am going to make any changes.. Just because they are making a change does not necessarily make the speaker better to your ears. Also, I w...

Absolutely, Avguygeorge. These speakers are big and heavy and the crates are ridiculous. I might be able to use one as my coffin if my audio spending continues as my wife will kill me if I even consider any more purchases.Keep looking...I am sure ...

That is correct, Jungsan but that was simply a price increase not a change in the speaker...Bass performance is outstanding well defined and deep. I had a bit of bloom with mine when they were set up initially but the dealer then came by and we we...

HI AvguygeorgeI actually looked into this as I bought an older pair of Sophias. I spoke with Wilson and no changes have been made since the Sophias were introduced a few years back... I believe you should be able to do better than 90% of retail as...

Jungsan:I have listened to the Sophias with McIntosh, Levinson and Naim gear and all sounded great...The only mismatch to my ears was Halcro gear...Sounded bright and tinny to me. I have heard great things about BAT tube gear with the Wilsons and ...

Hi Dave:Frankly, I was hoping to like the 802Ds more than the Sophias but it just was not close. I listen to a pretty wide variety of Music but list Wilco, Mark Knopfler, The Who, Pearl Jam and John Hiatt amongst my favorites. I tested both the So...

Dealer came over to my apartment last night...Tweaked my speakers a few inches here and there...Positioning tightened up the bass nicely and widened the soundstage a bit. There is no question that these speakers are substantially less directional ...

Thanks, Jungsan...They are incredible...Absolute magic with my McIntosh...The search is over-for now.

So the speakers are here, they are hooked up and they sound fantastic...Even though they are hooked up with some lesser wire (my Nordost Blue Heaven have to be re-terminated)and they are not properly voiced yet they sound awesome. Speakers are jus... 
Levinson 383 a good match for B&W 803D's
Found out that the Halcros do not match well with the Wilsons...Just bought a pair of Sophias...Heard them with ML, McIntosh, Naim and all sounded fantastic

I bought a pair of floor model Sophias tonight...Was able to save a bit of money and they are in pretty good shape.Tried a bunch of other speakers over the past week and nothing compares to me...Hopefully they will be delivered in time for the wee... 
Levinson 383 a good match for B&W 803D's
I heard ML gear with the 803 Ds last weekend and was blown away-do not remember the model #s but I can tell you that the amp, pre-amp, cd player combo was about 14K. There were a pair of Wilson Sophias hooked up in the room next door with Halcro e...
