Budt - I think there is no such a thing as "Wilson sound". Not anymore at least. The Sophias sound superbly natural and balanced, which was not always the case with the older designs. Personally, I hated the older Wilson products - WP 3/2, 5.1, 6 and even 7. They made my ears bleed. That was why, at the time, I much prefered, and bought the Avalons Eidolon. But Sophia II is a totally different story. This is, to my ears, the best Wilson speaker to date.
