Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's?


Currently using these in a 14x25 room. Enjoying them for the most part, but they can sound aggressive and make mediocre recordings sound like crap and be somewhat fatiguing. Iā€™m interested in trying something that is slightly more forgiving without sacrificing a lot of detail, air, dynamics, etc.

Any suggestions?

Associated equipment (preamps still in flux):

Amps
Pass XA 100.5 monoblocks

Preamps ā€“ Tube
Audio Valve Eclipse
Cary SLP-05

Preamps ā€“ SS
Fire H20
Wyred 4 Sound STP SE
Pass XP-20

Thanks.

I had tried some Focals and decided that the Be tweeter is not for me (didn't sound natural to my ears).
Dave- i agree that diffusion is necessary for a good room, but what you list won't do the trick.

i would also agree that dead rooms are too be avoided, and have commented on "absorption"-based rooms in the past. i think a good mix is in order (and what my room is doing)

but a lot of stuff you list is reflective by nature...not diffusive. i was also looking into the drapes route, but the thick "stage" type drapes aren't very aesthetically pleasing that are used to absorp sound. i am going to use fabric blinds backed in vinyl groovers for a more diffuse style (i have a wall of windows to contend with on the left side)

a lot of the room is its size/proportions---i'm unlucky and have a more squarish room which requires more work. if your room is more the "golden ratio"---then more power to you! i am jealous....and if 10 years down the road have a large house, will search for one with dedicated listening room in almost perfect ratio.
to the OP- i'm not sure i agree that treating the front wall is the right thing to do. from all i've read, unless you have dipoles---it really isn't that necessary.

i've owned the Sophia 1s btw, and never have found them fatiguing in th eleast---unlike the WP 6s.
I have found them more Aggressive then Fatiguing. But we all hear different and we all have different rooms. When I had my Maxx 2 they were to aggressive for me no matter what amps I used. But it all comes down to personal taste at this price point.

BTW I thought the Sophia II was Wilson's better speaker and in most rooms there best speaker.
Mtdking,

Please define aggressive as compared to fatiguing. Just curious what you hear. And for sure there is no speaker w. perfect highs.
