The Wilson's mid-bass impedance drop to 2.4 ohms is difficult for a low-power tube amp. It's not much different from the W3/P2 I owned for years. It sounded appealing on a 5W SET except for wimpy dynamics and loose bass. Even 75 wpc tube amp was underwhelming in this regard. Nice tonality for near-field listening at modest volume level, but far from ideal for a larger room or R&R.
Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5
Dear friends,
I am on the second hand market for speakers with a budget of about $ 4-5 k. The shortest list I made puts a real dilemma: Von Schweikert VR 6 or Wilson Watt/Puppies 5,1. They will be driven by low power Push/Pull tube amplifier (Audio Note). Will be used mostly for rock and roll, pop, classic and jazz.
