About the Sophia 1

The Wilson Audio Sophia 1 is a full-range, three-way, floorstanding loudspeaker designed to deliver a significant measure of the musical enjoyment found in Wilson Audio's larger, multi-cabinet systems. Introduced in 2001, the Sophia 1 features a single, meticulously crafted cabinet using Wilson's proprietary 'M' and 'X' materials for optimal resonance control and durability. The speaker employs a 1-inch inverted titanium-dome tweeter, a 7-inch paper-cone midrange, and a 10-inch aluminum-cone woofer, all custom-designed for seamless integration and time-domain alignment. With a frequency response of 29Hz–22.5kHz (+0/-3dB), 89dB sensitivity, and a nominal 4-ohm impedance, the Sophia 1 is both revealing and relatively easy to drive. Its high-gloss automotive paint finish and elegant lines make it visually striking. The Sophia 1 was retired in 2009, but remains highly regarded for its musicality, build quality, and value within the high-end loudspeaker market.
