Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 5.1 or..

Maybe I have a different take on bad recordings, knowing their not good, but in my system, using W/P 7's, less than stellar recordings are not unacceptable for me...maybe I just don't have many of those. :)

BTW, congratulations on the new purchase!

Ravi, be happy with the Sophia's and never second guess a decision that makes you happy. To me, the differences that you outlined in your comparison with the W/P matches my opinions. In the end, it is personal taste and preference. These are speakers that should last you many, many years if you can avoid the itch!

Well said ckoffend.

I have a friend who will be travelling to the US soon and is comtemplating of buying a pair of Sophia2. I am sure he is aware of all the warranty issues and additional shipping costs.

What's the best price to pay for a brand new/used pair? Require dealer contact details. I also heard that in a situation like this dealers usually sell at a much better price--is this true?
I would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

While I suspect that a pair can be purchased new from a dealer at a better price without requiring the in-home set-up etc. . . I don't think that the discount will be significant. I understand the Sophia's are selling fairly well and this is typically an indication that high discounts are not going to be absorbed by dealers. On the otherhand, I think finding a Wilson dealer in a more moderate market with a lower volume level of sales may be the best solution to finding a better deal. I would suggest buying used for a real savings.
