It looks like Wilson brings WAMM back:

Well, what can I say – it is smart. A few "jaw-dropping
reviews" from the ordinary suspects and the new WAMM will be flying from warehouses

Stitch, I hope you talk not about Wilsons but about the cretins who write the stupid stories about them. Wilsons do what they do and what they do is OK. Sure the Wilsons, as anything else have own problems but those problems are never get pointed out...

Last week I spent in NYC and while Amy was hanging along some kind of malignancy conference of her and had a couple hours free around Grand Center Station and I decided to drop by at Innovative Audio at 58 street. I know that they Wilson and La...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]But about the Wilson video: At the risk of deviating into an area outside the intent of this site, I'm prompted to ask, what the hell is up with this style of presenting? It's really become a cliché... The "sincere" fixed...

How Wilson sounds:Pressure caused by non-linear bass squeezed through narrow port holes.Shining caused by the papery upper mids of a too high crossed 6.5" midwoofer.Sparkle caused by the metal ringing of a titanium tweeter.What Wilson does:Use st...

You know, it surprises me how much less fan to listen my playback without ULF. Nope, the playback does not sound bad from audio perspective without ULF but it for sure a bit different experience. From a certain perspective to be in a room with U...

Maybe this link will work, so others can see the original WAMMs I have been referencing. Yes, they had "phase issues", but - like I've said - I have not since heard better from Wilson.http://www.stereophile.com/taxonomy/term-a/168?page=8Scroll dow...

Sad news,i have heard wilson alexandria and i never undrestand how it could be drived with proper amplifier.Alexandria need over 100 watt and i found no good amplifier over 20 watt. It seems wamm and other wilson big speakers do not let you use sepra...

Well, there is not really blame in the situation as anyone has good and honorable intentions. Wilson does what they do and Aleksandra might be not your type of speakers but the larges Wilsons do have own charm and charisma. I would argue that 85% of ...

I think Utopia is alittle soft with less sharpness than wilson , I have no idea but maybe one of the reasons is internal wiring of utopia.personally i prefer wilson but in this level of difference maybe choosing right cable and upstream help compensa...

It has been said before that big speakers have big problems, and I have always found this to be the case. At the least, I think it is fair to say that no big speakers are going to "work" up to their potential without some se...

Hi Romy,Entertaining post, but certainly nothing new to someone who is familliar with your commentary. My personal preference is (ego + intellect and honesty) > (friendliness + naivity), so even though like you mentioned "it's all about me,"...

The thread is derivation form the previous thread about the Dima's amplifier.I was trying to gradually approach better and better loudspeakers with the Zarathustra amplifier but today I decided to hit with the Zarathustra the pinnacle of low sen...

It was brought to my attention by a fellow member at our audio society meeting today that there have been some postings here regarding my letter to the editor in this month's Absolute Sound. I wont restate the total contents of my letter as they ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Well I assume you mean the "pros". After this weekend at the Paris Hifi show (first one ever for me), I cannot say that I place much value in what the "pros" might think.
Man, honestly, what crap sound in most every room...

[quote user="Knightcrawler"]The 1808 in a vented box produces some of the best bass I've ever heard. I know some have a beef with vented enclosures but when designed right the sound can be brilliant. I've heard plenty of sealed, vented, bandpass and ...

[quote user="jeff1225"] …"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. [/quote] Shure, Jeff, I know what most rooms, if not all, at a trade show are not suppose to be...

Yes, insane amounts of money are wasted on "exotic" cabinet materials and construction methods, for instance. And the misguided idea of keeping it one narrow stack per channel does, literally, compromise the sound, as does the "technically correct" ...

This just in from May Stereophile: The first part of Fremer's roll-out of Wilson's new-ish Alexx tells us the economic reasons for this speaker's existence. Then there is naming of names of those involved in it's implementation. Then there is tech...

Here is an interesting brain exercise for somebody who does not feel that it “deviated into an area outside the intent of this site”…
Pretend that you are David Wilson and you run a company that has some following and marketing success. You in...

Ha! You're either old or you read too much. There was also Arnie Nudell. Back to Bob Fulton, he never made 2 "statement" speakers alike! I actually owned E modulars from him. They were +/- the same as the Js, but with smaller subs. Ironically (cons...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I just ran the calculations again and came up with a figure of 13.8 cu ft (for a QTC favoring transient response, not lowest F3). Then I measured the boxes and they do in fact come out to just under 14 cu ft, once wall thi...

[quote user="el`Ol"]David Wilson says about the WAMM:
Atkinson: What range does the electrostatic unit cover?
Wilson: It operates above 5kHz. And it operates at a very low level. It functions primarily to provide part of the leading edge of high-f...

[quote user="stuck.wilson"] I just started using RTA as a method of evaluating my results with my own 2 way speaker system, and I'm finding that I'm ending up liking the sound of my system a GREAT DEAL MORE without the absurd notion that 20-20k is wh...

.. and I have no problem with “few” of the metal domes implementations. I wonder if David Wilson “preference” for metal domes derives from the fact the he needs an aggressive upper range to get equilibrium to the noise of Wilson ports coming from Wi...
