From the thoughtful, absorbed tone of your posts, at this point in your self-education/personal feedback cycle, you might enjoy a book entitled, "Consilience; The Unity of Knowledge", by Edward O. Wilson.Then, in light of this, you might enjoy re...

Interestingly that I eventually decided to read the Mike Fremer review about the Continuum turntable. I was trying quite hard but I was not able to read it. The content was none-readable and revolting as in a beginning of each sentence the Framer jus...

Here is the link:http://www.rank-concept.deI have no experience with the Lamm ML-series, I just listened to an M-series hybrid amp combined with the Watt/Puppy 8. This performance was a single fake (though a pleasant one). I can´t say where was the f...

The recent TT measurement post reminded me that I tried Class D amps last weekend (with Wilson speakers). These amps are supposed to be the Class D for serious listeners, with PWM and Class D "switching" output stage, and large, conventional PS....

large Wilsons driven by first generation of Lamm ML2. It is important to know that it should be large Wilson, starting from Grand Slams, the small Wilsons are not interesting. I did not hear newest large Wilsons but I ...

el`Ol,it is quite fascinating how well you depicted (listening to WP 8!) what I heard, listening to some 5.xI.E. "some characteristic shining or radiance probably induced by the breakup of carbon-doped paper cones in combination with the anorganic-pa...

"whatever that means" is that most rooms at a trade show are not good. You know this Rommy, I've seen you write it in past posts. I like that Silbatone was trying to demonstrate to the "Wilson Audio" crowd that vintage horns can surpass the latest mu...

The Aura
1808 had free air resonance at 24Hz and required enormous sealed
enclosure of 14-16 cu feet. Wilson Audio used the Aura 1808 in their
unfortunately-ported XS subwoofers and soaked from their relatively
small enclosure an extra 19dB...

Josh, even though topologically
Wilson Alexx is something that I would not advocate and I have crucified plenty
of Wilson but the experience you describe does not say anything about Wilsons
as the speaker but rather say only about the owner of the...

Well, I'm hoping the Azzolinas have something going for them. After all, it's not about theory but results. They came recommended as decent, so I invited them to be in my RMAF06 room. Yeah, I committed myself unheard, unseen. ...

My experience is limited, but I tried it a few times (300B, 845, OTL ...) with 8 ohm Speakers, 92dB and a crossover, which is simple and never got a result which was close to a high sensitive speaker (98dB ...), no breathing, no air, Headroom was lim...

…how do not spread Ketchup to all food you eat.
The regular readers of my site know that I very seldom pay compliment to the audio reviewers. I do it because they are mostly unspeakably Morons and their writing/thinking is mostly primitive and brain...

It is great that Wilson did anything like this, thank for
pointing out. I did not read the article passing 3rd paragraph and stooped
reading when they start taking about listening impressions. The listening
impressions from those people are truly ...

There is a young new “reviewer” Jacob Heilbrunn who spread his “wisdom” about Wilson speakers:

When I read raves from low powered amps with such speaker designs I ask myself, is it product placement or is there a different kind of listening among Americans, Japanese, Europeans...?
I made a visit to an audiophile with Lamm LL1, ML3 and Wilson ...

A Federated Mike started his new venture ultimist.com, the portal where he feel people would like to go to do “purchase research”. Those poor audio dealers do not get that someone might have interests in audio outside the brands, shopping and nee...

[quote user="hagtech"] Then there was the Stereophile writer we had dinner with who thought Wilson was the top of the heap [/quote]
….and I would agree. With all Wilsons limitations I sincerely feel that the big Wilson are the most interesting direc...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still wer...

For the first time My friend attended munich show 2023 and he listened to all of those systems.He did not like the sound of those systems and even super expensive systems like wilson Benesch Ypsilon were awful .He told me what is happening in this in...

Somebody “aehaas” from Florida got new large Wilson and wrote about his experience. The writing was posted at avsforum.com – the site invested by idiots of all calibers, and the comments and responses to the aehaas’s writing are a good evidence o...

Macondo, because it is prodigiously time aligned has very nerow and well defined listening sweet spot. The only same identical listening spot I heard only from one another loud speaker, it was Wilson Alexandria which was very accurately time alig...

I really got my fill of Wilson speakers while auditioning amplifiers earlier this year, and also tired of hearing the self-satisfied "explanations" and enumerations of all the "reasons" why they sound so great, when, in fact, they sound pretty much l...

I hear you, Romy, too many other things going on to do this full time, like "the old days". To save time and effort, you could try to "repeat" the original Dannoy configuration (same gear and location) and hear if it is "repeatable". If not, you're d...

Funny that people think that phase issues just go away with so-called "FR" drivers, which have their own electrical and mechanical phase problems. Of course it doesn't get any "better" with multi-way, multi-amped mega systems...I have wondered for a...

I twice had the opportunity to listen to a Wilson: The Puppy 8 combined with a Lamm power amp and the latest Maxx with Soulution electronics. Both times my impression was that there is some characteristic shining or radiance probably induced by the b...
