Apple iPOD + Wilson Sophia
Robert Harley writes in the April/May '04 TAS
about an interesting demo by David Wilson at CES '04. Wilson was setting his Sophia's against an unamed, higher-priced speaker. When the curtain was lifted, Wilson was driving the Sophias with a $1k Parasound amp, using an Apple iPOD as the source. Harley does not go into detail about the sound, but declared Wilson the hands-down winner over the more expensive speaker, driven by a $7k Krell amp and Krell digital source. The implication is of course that the iPOD+Parasound+Sophia combo sounded pretty darn good. As Harley indicates in the column, Wilson sought to prove that even a moderate (cheap?) front-end can sound good with the right speakers (not agreeing here, just paraphrasing). Interesting... /jim |
