Time for an upgrade??
I've heard the virtues of the 2.1s but 18w may be enough for some depending on their listening habits and choice of music but not quite enough for others. If I had 95dB efficient speakers, I would not hesitate but the Sophia 2s are not 95dB efficient. The 110w of pure class A and additional 500w of A/B on top of that from my "hybrid" amps keeps me very happy with my current speakers. If my speakers change in the future to a more efficient design, I will definitely consider the 2.1s. Of course the real "holy grail" are the new ML3 Reference monoblocks but at $140k.....
