watt puppy 7 / sophia?

The WP 7 are vastly better than the Sophia's so if you have a decent amp I would get the better speakers and then upgrade the amp later.

I would also strongly advise you to listen to a pair of Usher Be 20 loudspeakers which are 516,400.00 brand new and they will stomp on the WP 7 and 8.

The Usher uses a pure beryillium midrange and tweeter and also employs the famous 10 inch Eton bass drivers that Kharma uses.

This magnificent speaker is in the same class at the $40-$50,000.00 speakers such as Kharma or Marten but because they are from a company who believes in reasonable pricing cost so much less. I am in NJ if you are close contact me for an audition. Please check them out you will be amazed.

One of my customers bought a pair and his friend has the Avalon Eidilon Diamond and the Usher's smoked em!

There's a recent thread on this very subject, you should use the search engine. Audioauricle's first sentence is the consensus, I believe. The key is having a good front end, as the WP is far more revealing of flaws ahead of it than the Sophia. On the other hand, if you don't really care about getting all that detail and don't want to have to spend a fortune on front-end equipment and amps, the Sophia would be a better choice, then you could pocket the extra money and enjoy your music as well.

At just over half a mill, I would think they should be better.
