You are wellcome JK. I am familiar how W/P8 sounds. It is a good choice and has potential for future upgrades.(amps, digital...) I will stick with my Sophias longer than usual because I don't have dedicated listening room as you do. As far as Ayres concerned, they are not available where I live. So I don't need to worry what I have been missing... But sooner or later you will upgrade your Ayres to something bigger in size and painted in ''red''.:)))
instead of investing 28000usd on w/p8, you could use Sophia 2 as main speakers, and improve your digital gear. Result will be better than you get, I bet...Period.(Ayre monos another subject of discussion, I don't how they sound but they don't look ok to me because they are simply so small compared to speakers)
