Sonic preferences aside, the Sophias are the more forgiving speaker and, therefore, the easier to incorporate into a variety of systems. I've heard them sound superb with a Naim integrated amp and Rega Planet CD player, a system that would be seriously subpar with any interation of WPs. So, if extensive expertise with Wilson speakers is not available to you where you live, I would go with the Sophias without hesitation. They can be made to sound absolutely fabulous with significantly less effort.
