B&W 802D vs. Sophia and

I decided on, and purchased, the Wilson Audio Sophia, after extended-listening to the B&W 802D, Krell Res.2, Revel Studio and Focal 1037Be. The Wilson sounded beautiful, regardless of electronics or room. The other Speakers may have excelled in certain specific areas, but the Wilsons have a more-balanced and integrated sound. Also, the finish is just superb, and gorgeous in Diamond Black. They look more like Art, than conventional Speakers.
Higly recommended!

congrats on your purchase...enjoy!

I noticed in another thread you stated this is now your third straight set of Wilson's.Some seem to love the Wilson sound while others hate it but then again B+W gets the same thing.What were the other 2 sets of Wilson's?

I heard the sophias years ago and was impressed. But Ive heard the diamonds recently and was amazed at the soundstaging and disappearing act. But I cant afford either so Im sticking with my current system. B&W matrix802s3( Im a diehard B&W fan) use the center Matrix HTM and 601 for the rear. Big Ol' Classe DR 25 for stereo. Happy Listening!!

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.
