Value 'For those of us without a $20,000 budget who want a speaker with the lion's share of the WATT/Puppy 6's magic along with a completely engrossing signature of its own, the Sophia is waiting.' A year ago this month, loudspeakers appeared.
Since that time, I have used the wonderful WATT/Puppy 6 as my reference speaker, and I haven't doubted this decision for even a fleeting moment. Penguin Readers Easystarts Pdf on this page. The WATT/Puppy 6 has proven to be an important reviewing tool because of its high sensitivity (91.5dB by our NRC measurements), relatively amplifier-friendly load, and high resolving power. But when the reviewing was over, the WATT/Puppy 6 also proved to be an eminently enjoyable speaker, one I could listen to for hours on end. I've answered much e-mail about these speakers, telling all the writers to listen for themselves but also to be ready to write a check when they do. Here it is a year later, and my enthusiasm for the WATT/Puppy 6 hasn't waned a bit. In fact, it's been very difficult in the interim to want to review other speakers, so hard have I fallen for the 6.
But one speaker I was willing to stow my WATT/Puppy 6es for was the new Wilson Sophia, which Doug Schneider and Jeff Fritz spied at High End 2001 in Frankfurt, Germany and we saw again at CEDIA in Indianapolis. Given that we received Sophia serial numbers 1 and 2, it stands to reason that this review is the first of the Sophia you'll read anywhere. As its angular profile would suggest, the Sophia ($11,700 USD per pair) is the product of David Wilson's vast accumulated knowledge of designing floorstanding speakers, but its one-piece cabinet also signals a departure from the multiple parts of Wilson speakers like the WATT/Puppy, MAXX and X-1 Grand SLAMM. The Sophia resembles the WATT/Puppy 6 and replaces the long-discontinued WITT in the Wilson Audio lineup, but its lines are more elegant, feminine even, and thus in great contrast to the look of the chunky WITT. The speaker comes in your choice of four Wilson Audio finishes -- diamond black, Mercedes silver, cashmere beige, and dark titanium -- but the entire WilsonGloss finish palette as well as a nearly infinite number of custom colors are available to you at extra cost. No matter the shade, the finish is painstakingly buffed to bring out a deep shine.
