| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? Still no examples of quicksilver amplifiers with Wilson Sophia? I would have expected these fairly common brands to cross paths at some point. Still working my mid monos whilst I save up for the Silver 88s! | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? Just picked up a pair of mid monos and they seem to work well with the Sophias. Haven't yet had a chance to A/B/C the MiniMites, the MidMonos and the VTL ST150, but that'll be happening real soon. So far MidMonos aren't shy with detail, dynamics o... | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? This may explain why I've only been able to find reviews and comments matching the Wilson Sophias with fantastically high powered tube or solid state amplifiers. In my space, I mate every amplifier I own with new speakers, just to see (hear) what ... | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? I don't expect that the entire line of QS monoblocks are essentially the same, save for increasing power, correct? What are the specific sound qualities that improve as power is increased (other than volume)? I think I've ruled out the mid-monos. ... | |

| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? Wilson Sophia II are 89dB and 4 Ohms. | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? Really appreciate all the responses so far. Even heard back from Quicksilver directly. I'm told that the silver 88 monoblocks would be the best match for Sophia II, but can someone explain this in simple terms? I figured the higher powered V4 woul... | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? In the mini mites, I've got EL34s, though it does allow other types such as KT88, 6550c etc. The VTL uses strictly 6550C.Didn't expect that tube swapping would make as much difference as changing QS monoblocks. I do like the idea of having options... | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? I expected the mini mites to be underpowered and sound terrible, but suprisingly, they sounded OK. I didn't notice increased distortion, but I also don't typically listen at extreme volumes either. Compared to the higher powered VTL ST150, the QS ... | |
| Casters for Wilson Sophia 2 Plastic sliders worked perfectly, and at a cost of only 8 dollars. For anyone with the same idea, I'd recommend using somewhat larger spike floor protectors as they are prone to tilt on the soft side of the slider if too small. I used the floor sp... | |
| Casters for Wilson Sophia 2 Great idea! I'll bet they have discs, or something like it, for hardwood floors too. Thanks for your response! | |
| What would you use in this 11' x 16' x 9' room? Thanks Lak. Some of the underlying questions include:How will the Sophia's perform in a smaller room?Are the Soliloquys better suited?Will the QS Minimites be enough to properly drive either pair of speakers in a smaller room?What to try, and what... | |
| Child-Proof Speakers I had the same concerns with my 3 children. It turned out that teaching them to respect "Daddy's stereo" was the easy part. Their curious friends and playmates are the ones to look out for. My best advice would be to prepare yourself mentally that... | |
