Ah, a fellow DefTech alumnus.
My first big system was the DT BP7000SC for FL/FR, CLR3000 for C, BP7001SC for SL/SR, and Trinity for Sub. The good old days.
Since then, I’ve owned Salon2, B&W 802D2, KEF 201/2, Linkwitz Orion 3.2.1, Philharmonic 3, TAD 2201/ and a few others from ATC, Dynaudio, and Focal.
Now I own RBH speakers.
Not the Sophia, but I did listen to the Wilson Sasha back when I was auditioning Salon2 and B&W 800D. The Wilson sounded pretty good, but not any better than many speakers I heard. The one thing that turned me off was their general speaker measurements as a whole company.
I was turned off by the B&W Diamonds measurements too, but I bought them anyway because I was intrigued by those Marlon Heads.
Naturally, everyone likes different things. There is a speaker, amp, AVR/AVP, etc. for everyone.
When it comes to spending $10K for speakers of your next decade or two, you’re going to have to do a lot soul-searching to figure out exactly what your preferences are.
Besides sound quality (a lot of good sounding speakers out there),what are other things you want in your $10K speakers?
Are measurements important to you?
