DESCRIPTION :

When Sophia was introduced in 2001, it quickly knocked the audio world on its ear, collected rave reviews in all sectors of the audio press, and achieved a kind of cult status.

It is no small thing to improve upon something so special as Sophia. The design team knew that in developing Alexandria X-2, MAXX Series 2, and the new Duette, they had uncovered new technologies that, if applied to Sophia, would improve her performance. So, with a protective eye on preserving those qualities that imbued Sophia with her intrinsic grandeur, Wilson Audio set out to improve on her strengths through an application of these new technologies. Introducing Sophia Series 2.

Given Sophia's magic, Wilson's engineers approached the task of upgrading the loudspeaker with the Hipocratic mandate: first do no harm. Nevertheless, they knew that the technologies applied to MAXX in its Series 2 transformation had the potential of making Sophia more of what it already was.

New Crossover
Anti-Jitter technology reduces interaction among the drivers and reduces the noise floor. The music emerges from a blacker background.

Bass-Alignment technology achieves bass that is at once deeper, faster, and more articulate.

New Tweeter
Anti-Diffraction technology, first developed for the MAXX 2 is applied to the tweeter, successfully diminishing back wave interference in the time and frequency domain. Sophia Series 2 is more holographic, more detailed, and sweeter.

New Pin-Style Grills
The Sophia Series 2 cabinet is slightly larger than the original Sophia enclosure in order to accommodate the recessed diffraction blanket. The recessed pin-mounted grilles give Sophia Series 2 a sleek, elegant presence in your room.
