Wilson W/P 6 with Krell 350 MCX ?


I am a little gun shy about pulling the trigger on a pair of Wilson audio W/P 6 ($10,000) to go with my Krell 350mcx and krell KTC preamp. The Wilsons sound great in the store but it is a lot on Money! Tell me I am making the right move!

Thanks,
Duane

depends what you like. if you like hi-fi, krell & WP6s are fine.

i like music. thus the rec.

(yes, i've heard the krell monsters, thus the rec).

The new CX series is much different than prior FPBs. The highs are much, much smoother--if anything, could be rolled off a hint.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the combo--though I prefer BAT tubes on the Wilsons.
Rhyno, exactly what is "hi-fi?"

I thought that was reserved for the SET crowd. But I may be wrong. Oh I see, sharply rolled off highs and low power without linearity, extension or ability to provide current into demanding loads, that's anti-hi-fi. Yeah, now I get it. LOL!
my SET puts out 55wpc into a 4r load, thank you. i've numerous acquaintances who've said they've never heard WPs sound as good as at my place...the amp is why. i've no idea how flat the response curve is; i don't care. it sounds good. (fwiw, rolling the highs w/ WPs is a good thing; the tweeter is too hot).

the WP6s are amusical. so is krell (at least older models). partnering the two together is a great way to impress people w/ a system you won't listen to when they're gone.

only a rare SS amp can make the WPs sing; older krell isn't it.
Rhyno- how far do you sit from yours?

Just curious as the picture makes it appear you have a very small room, and hence why 55 may work well.
