Wilson Audio Sophia 2 Speakers

Given Sophia's magic, Wilson's engineers approached the task of upgrading the loudspeaker with the Hipocratic mandate: first do no harm. Nevertheless, they knew that the technologies applied to MAXX in its Series 2 transformation had the potential of making Sophia more of what it already was.

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.

" This setup, with a street value of next to nothing, produced astonishingly satisfying sound. . . .Thus, you can appreciate the Sophia 2s with rather modest but well-chosen equipment, and they will certainly respond as the ancillary equipment improves."Read More

"Bley features the familiar melody with the reverent hush of a grateful citizen, in others the piece metastasizes into something disturbingly dark and frightful—but it always sounds recognizably present." Read More

"When I laid eyes and ears on Wilson's Sophia, priced to sell at a relatively affordable $11,700/pair, at the 2001 CEDIA Expo last September, I began salivating about how they would work in my room and my budget." Read More
