Hello All!
« on: 11 Feb 2022, 08:34 pm »
Hello!

I am an audiophile and guitar player. My current system consists of the following:

Magnepan 3.7i
Bel Canto 1000M amps
Lumin T2 DAC with Noiseless Volume Control
Roon Nucleus+
Tidal

I am looking to upgrade to full range high-efficency speakers
such as Wilson Audio Sophia 3 or Coincident Pure Reference.

Welcome to AC  :thumb:
Please note these speakers Wilson/Coincident are not hi efficiency they are>
Wilson 87dB  @ 1 watt @ 1 m @ 1 kHz
Nominal Impedance 4Ω / 3.1Ω minimum

Conincident   Sensitivity: 94 db @ 1M - 1 watt, 8Ω/6Ω minimum.

Also they are not Full Range, they are both 3 ways with a complex crossover, a 3-way crossover use 4 cuts in the musical signal to direct the music to the 3 drivers, which damage the musical signal sadly.

To a real Full Range driver no crossover, signal direct from the amp see this independent site review, no advertisement here:

The driver above is this at $399/pair:
