Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2

In my opinion Pass or Ayre would work well with any Wilson Audio speakers, but particularly stand out with anything below the Wilson MAXX. Sophia and Watt Puppy are good for precision. Pass or Ayre would compliment them for the body, depth and openness.

So would you guys think that the Pass XA 100.5 would have enough power?

My Theta's are 650 watts into 4ohms and the Pass would only be 200 watts. Not that I'm an expert in any way when it comes to ohms, impedance, class A vs B etc, but I do know more power is better and the Wilsons seems to want to be playing around 90db or so.

but I do know more power is better

You'd be surprised at how little power you use most the time.

In my search for a new amp for my Verity Parsifals I spent a day listening to the ARC Ref. 110 with the Sophia II's. It was nice but was a bit forward in the upper mids and a little light in the base.

This was mostly due to Ref 110 voicing. I used Ref 110 with Sophia 2s for over a year. Pass X-350.5, which I also tried with my Sophias, gives entirely different perspective.

Madfloyd, for the long term it would serve you well to get Pass XA100.5 if that is what you already have in mind and already listened to them. The actual necessity is more of whether you need the XA100.5 or the XA60.5. I have the later but I listen to all kinds of music. My personal music taste definitely requires private home with good spacing between houses, and quality windows and doors before the neighbors complain. I expect music with distinct bass at 60-85 db, but then too strong a bass unfortunately drowns out the delicateness and subtlety of the music. So what am I to do? However if you are the type that primarily stands up, claps and moves with the beat, then the pair of XA100.5 are for you. My XA60.5 can undoubtly shake the ground, but other people might enjoy shaking the foundation of their houses harder than me.
