Wilson better than Thiels?

I personally think that the Sophias are the best value and sound in the Wilson line up. The Maxx's sound great but I feel they deliver too much bass and lose the overall emphasis on the full music presentation. The Sophias just seems to balance the full range in a smooth, articulate, distinct sound. I have listened to many Theils and although the newer models sound better than before, they just seem to lack the emotional conveyance of the music. In my opinion (opinion only) the Theils remind you that they are there and the Wilsons just deliver the music and you(I)get lost in the music. Again all just one man's opinion. My name is Theo and I approved this reply.

Thiels Harsh?
Only because the truth is sometimes painful.

If Thiel means truth I guess I and many others wish to be lied to, I can hear the truth by Sade or Fran Drescher, I happen to want to hear it from Sade where you may like Fran Drescher..........but tis still the truth.

Wilson better than Thiels?

Which is better Chocolate or Vanila? Better no, different yes, only you can decide.

Sbank and the others are right. UNLESS YOU HEAR A BIG IMPROVEMENT never change. There are very few systems that cannot be improved 10% to 50% by careful tuning. Most people change their systems before they have gotten the most out of them. Spend the money [probably a lot less] on improving what you have and don't change until you have recognized a flaw in your system that you cannot live with. AND FOR HEAVENS SAKE DON'T CHOOSE YOUR EQUIPMENT BY ASKING OTHER PEOPLE.
