Finally, I'm a Wilson owner...

OGA, Cyril, Serge, Stephen, and Elberoth, thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I was away for a couple of days and was missin' my new toys! I attended a Jazz at Lincoln Center event, last night, and I turned to my wife and said, "I don't think this sounds as good as home!" I actually meant it, though, as there was a strange reverb with the vocals. We still had a blast, but I'm glad to be home so I can enjoy the toy.

I heard that Avery Fisher hall (named for, well, Avery Fisher, founder of Fisher and member of the NY Philharmonic board) was known for a while as "A Very Fishy" Hall - because of the questionable acoustics (which I am sure have since been corrected). But I'm guessing the jazz was at - Tully ?

The Sophia 3's are gorgeous and look beautiful in your room. You lucky duck!

The Sebring blue color is great and I'm sure the sound will be phenomenal. (Appears that you are already almost there)

Congratulations on an excellent purchase and a wonderful improvement to your system.

And, maybe I do need to replace my speakers after all.

Don't you need the turntable with these?

Friday's Jazz at Lincoln Center event was in Rose Theater, 5th Floor, Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle: Jazz at Lincoln Center - Rose Theater. It sounded too off & obvious (to me) to be anything but a system problem...we were 5th row, center stage. I thought it must be a time delay coming from a left side speaker...and the guy behind me felt the same way. We seemed to be the only two who really noticed it in our immediate area, though.

Robert I bet you could not wait to get home and listen to some vinyl.

After having the Sophia 3 for several weeks, now, I'm thoroughly enthralled, but I do have an observation that my wife and I both discussed, this morning. We are definitely finding that the B&W N802 played louder with our system.

Could it be...might we need...MORE POWER??

You could always call Tim Allen. Or replaced the integrated with separates. Why not Bryston? 4B SST2, or 14B....or, pairs of the 7B SST2 or 28B SST2.
