Bought new in 2018 and stored until mid 2025, they have only 100 hours max usage and come with full toolkit and castors and original Wilson crates. They are seriously as new and save huge dollars. Half price. Finished in a dark metallic grey which is quite beautiful in the light. One has one smal...
With only 2 recent AUD comparables, the asking price sits well above the usual range: the median is A$16,395, the 75th percentile is A$16,906, and this listing is at A$21,000, so it reads ambitious rather than fair. For a buyer, that means you’d want a clear premium justification—exceptional cosmetics, fresh service, outstanding provenance, or valuable extras.
That said, this is a well-regarded design for a reason: the Sophia 3 is known for a big, refined presentation, strong imaging, and the sort of effortless scale that makes good recordings feel more expensive than they are. It can be a very satisfying buy if the finish is truly excellent and the pair is complete; for a speaker of this age/generation, I’d especially want confirmation on driver condition, cabinets, and whether any original accessories or packaging are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Wilson Audio: American High-End Loudspeaker Pioneer
Wilson Audio Specialties was founded in 1974 by David A. Wilson and his wife Sheryl Lee Wilson in Provo, Utah. The company emerged from humble beginnings in a garage, where David Wilson—a recording engineer and founder of the Wilson Audiophile record label—initially modified turntables and later built speakers to better evaluate his own recordings. His early experimentation with driver positioning led to a foundational patent on mechanical time-alignment technology, a principle that remains central to Wilson Audio's design philosophy across five decades of loudspeaker innovation.
The brand is exclusively focused on loudspeaker design and manufacturing, with no involvement in amplifiers, DACs, headphones, or cables. Wilson Audio's product lineage traces from the legendary WAMM (Wilson Audio Modular Monitor) in 1980 through iconic designs like the WATT and Puppy to contemporary flagships including the Sabrina, Alexx, and Chronosonic XVX. The company is renowned for its proprietary cabinet materials and construction techniques developed to minimize resonances, reflecting an uncompromising engineering approach refined over generations.
Wilson Audio occupies the ultra-premium tier of the high-end audio market, commanding some of the world's most expensive speaker prices. The brand's reputation rests on meticulous craftsmanship, acoustic precision, and a commitment to sonic truth rooted in David Wilson's recording engineering background. Under the leadership of his son Daryl Wilson—who became CEO in 2016—the company continues to set benchmarks in music reproduction, maintaining its position as a cornerstone of serious audiophile culture.
