Wilson's design objective for the Sophia was to build a single-cabinet, floor-standing loudspeaker that could provide a level of musical enjoyment comparable to Wilson Audio's multi-cabinet speakers, the Watt/Puppy System 6, the Maxx, and the X-1 Grand Slamm. The result is a loudspeaker both visually and sonically beguiling. The Sophia is a full-range, three-way system using specially chosen drivers and Wilson's patented Group Delay technology to achieve what he believes is a new standard in top-to-bottom coherence and transparency.
