Amp for Wilson Sophia
The one time I heard Krell with Wilson Maxx 2s I hated itI know it does not answer your question I just can not imagine Krell being much better with the Sophia

I recently put Ultimate HDLs on the tweeters and MK III on the woofers of my Audio Note kit 3 (E silver) speakers which are bi wired with Lexus and hooked up to Audio Note Soro SE amp. The improvement is obvious and I agree with others. Layers of ...
