I heard the wilson sophia's today at a dealer, and they did sound awesome. I have not heard the ML Summit's yet, and look forward to it. I wonder which I will prefer??

thank you everyone. I am trying to find a pair of summit's to listen to. I also listened today to the Wilson Sophia's and was quite impressed.

I guess I am starting to think about the Summit's now... though that CLX deal looks nice. But from what I have read here, the CLX's would be too demanding to set up correctly, not to mention want more space. the Summit's seem like the sub is nicely enough integrated, and I wouldn't want...

Yes, I will change my name after a while. I remember 15 years ago when I first heard these (Quests maybe?), what impressed me besides the clarity was the HEIGHT of the image. I loved that. I just want this to be turnkey. I need a speaker model recommendation, and preferably a great one for...

Let's assume I can make the depth work now. So which speaker: the Summits (maybe one of the pairs on ebay or audiogon, Spires, the CSL that needs its panel replaced (how hard is that?), etc? And any good used amps to drive them? getting excited!

also, am I kidding myself again about getting ML's given the room situations? maybe I should just get some sonus faber mini monitors? how close to the back wall and sidewalls can you go without loosing the spaciousness and imaging and clarity I loved so much. I can live with a smaller...

My budget won't be the limiting factor; room placement and appeasing my wife's visual sense will be (antique decorated room). I may need instead to go from living room to the family room, but that room is even brighter with wood paneled walls (wainscotted up to 4 feet). I listen to jazz...

15 years or more ago, I fell in love with the sound of ML's at Sound by Singer in NYC. Unfortunately, I never had the space for them. But I have never forgotten them either... Now despite the usual WAF, I want to get a nice set. Which ones, new or used? Only for 2 channel music. I...
