That was a great review.as in quantum physics there are some elements formulas,theories still under debate. This is why I buy amplifiers with alot of headroom > 1kw and drop down to 1 ohm stability with high dampening factor.big transformers and lots of capicitors. I love the furman 20 I because of the lift and surge protection and large capicitors for discharge during transients in the amp is also believe in large gauge speaker wire to reduce resistance 7 awg or larger to minimize resistance. What does this have to do with wilson? I knew him and raced with him on Miller motor sports track.he was kind,generous,concerned and listened and answered my questions. I miss him alot and wished I had gleaned more knowledge from him. Even though my wilson maxx can be driven with a low wattage amp it is when you step on the gas with a high kw amp they come alive.long live audiophile and engineers as I enjoy the fruits of thier labors.

Hate to rag on Sterophile again, but one of two things are true. One, the Sabrina speakers they reviewed were wired incorrectly or Wilson is now shipping with inverted midranges.
All that work to reduce distortion to vanishing levels only to totally ahem, add custom flavor to the frequency response.
Honestly if I was reviewing this speaker I'd have stopped to reach out to them before publishing, just to be sure this speaker shipped as intended.

Huh? Impressive?..0.95 ohm epdr ......wonder what godawful crap it was with the Alexx V. All that to eek some extra useless bass out of it... Here's where the common sense goes missing for the audiophile...Perhaps he thinks he's floating around in Valhalla without a room to deal with.... You walk around in front of a Alexx V and the bass was in some other spot in the room ....way outside of your audiophile triangle sweet spot for imaging wonders or whatever. Hence, still need some subwoofers for the room anyways, no matter what bass you eeked out of that Wilson or not...same goes for anything claiming to be full range (that extra eeked out for bass, lousy load for naught) Is a Gryphon monster amp a fidelity king, you thought? Hell no, it isn't. It all comes with a fidelity compromise dude...Those 2 hernias from lifting it for naught again...Any monster amp still sounds worse with a lousy load like that (whether it survives the load or not).

Having owned a Watt/Puppy, earlier series, for a short while, and heard many models of theirs, I can honestly say they are a great speaker company. deep-333, you got to chill out. What is eating at you? I was always looking for something to better my Klipsch Lascala "experience". Dvorak, Symphony # 9, I can only say, a great speaker should play everything well, including this. There is a special spl level I like to play this at, so I can only use horns. Anyone reading this, who owns and loves horns as I do(I have owned Lascalas since their introduction, 1st pair in Brooklyn, NY), will understand what I am talking about. Tried everything.......I totally understand why erik posted this. My best, MrD. |

Who said i wasn't a horn guy? i'm actually kind of a....hardcore horn guy. In fact, i have 3 of them, engineered to be finger licking good.....one was actually done by tad (no one knows about that), another one from tom danley and one from mike o'neill....Such horns came with immense cash savings too.
