Wilson Sophia 2 Speakers

Wilson Sophia 2 Speakers









When Sophia was introduced in 2001, it quickly knocked the audio world on its ear, collected rave reviews in all sectors of the audio press, and achieved a kind of cult status.
It is no small thing to improve upon something so special as Sophia. The design team knew that in developing Alexandria X-2, MAXX Series 2, and the new Duette, they had uncovered new technologies that, if applied to Sophia, would improve her performance. So, with a protective eye on preserving those qualities that imbued Sophia with her intrinsic grandeur, Wilson Audio set out to improve on her strengths through an application of these new technologies. Introducing Sophia Series 2.

New Crossover
Anti-Jitter technology reduces interaction among the drivers and reduces the noise floor. The music emerges from a blacker background.
Bass-Alignment technology achieves bass that is at once deeper, faster, and more articulate.

New Tweeter
Anti-Diffraction technology, first developed for the MAXX 2 is applied to the tweeter, successfully diminishing back wave interference in the time and frequency domain. Sophia Series 2 is more holographic, more detailed, and sweeter.

B&W 800D Speakers
 
 Krell S-300i Amp

The top-of-the-range 800D inhabits an elegantly curved cabinet and stands on a heavy cast aluminium plinth that also houses the substantial crossover.

With twin RohacellŽ sandwich cone woofers it can deliver prodigious amounts of bass when called upon to do so, even in large listening rooms. Bass output is reinforced by a down-firing Flowport™ and is configured to have a taut characteristic, enabling the 800D to work optimally in a wide range of 'real world' rooms and acoustics.

The geometry of the MarlanŽ midrange 'head' enclosure and the separate tweeter on top, allows the 800D to project an uncannily realistic and three-dimensional image, one that is more stable with changes in listener position than more conventionally shaped speakers.

While supremely powerful it may be, but the 800D can also portray the finest nuances from a recording. So good is it at revealing detail that top recording engineers have said that it will change the way they mix and edit programme. This level of detail retrieval is a result of the unique combination of our FST™ midrange driver and what is arguably the world's finest tweeter. With the first break-up of its diamond dome at 70kHz, it delivers truly pistonic motion up to and beyond the limits of human hearing.

As befits a speaker of this calibre, the 800D contains several unique refinements, most notably the ultimate in crossover capacitors using silver and gold.
