Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's?

Yes, there is so much more "mentally stable adult conversation" to the words, "Maggie 3.6R's and 20.1's...all the rest pale in comparison."

To be as candid as I am with my feelings and findings enevitably gives gasoline for those who would rather torch the message than inquire for elucidation or feedback regarding a particular comment.

This isn't the case at all, it is that the message is always the same, "I have so and so and it is the best". Which leads to you being the one "Pretending to act like the all seeing, all knowing, all judging God of the Audiophiles is pretentious and of no real value to anyone."

I agree it can be easy to find fault, I can search the archives and find some of my old posts and cringe! ...I was wrong either way.

You missed the point Brianmgrarcom. I am admitting to getting overly excited about my gear from time to time. I am also the first to expose any misgivings I discover about that same gear. Few have the balls to admit that what they have purchased doesn't satisfy for the long haul. Out of context comments are worthless, regardless. You are becoming a little Audiofeil yourself it would seem. Try asking probing questions or a flat out rebuke of what I've said, supported by your own thoughts and experiences. As you said, we can all cringe at some of the comments we've made. This is Audiogon, not the National Association of Trial Lawyers.

No, I don't think I missed the point, but it doesn't really matter. BTW, don't criticize others for being critical when your replies are laced with criticism. If I have taken anything out of context feel free to enlighten me. Nobody is putting anyone on trial here. Take care, Brian

Don't take it personally, Dave_b, if your comments are viewed as hyperbole. We know each time you write about a new revelation in your system you are writing from your heart, but you always pronouce your latest discovery as one of the best, if not *the* best...and your own history reveals that your latest best is soon displaced by another best.

You've written enthusiastically about Acoustic Zen, then MIT, then Monster Z200i, and now Morrow MA4. Each time, the cable being discussed is the best you've ever heard, and better than most others.

I doubt anyone here has a problem with anyone reporting on something that works well, but the over-the-top proclamations, and then dogged defense of the proclamations is the crux of the issue presented here, as I see it.

Can we get back to Madfloyd's question about upgrading the Sophia 2? I've heard his system, understand his frustrations and would like to read some more opinions in the hope of learning something.
