I heard a pair of WP8s im August. I was amazed. To my ear they sounded better than the Alexx V which I also auditioned.
The WPs were driven by a Mac tube amp (I know, I know but that was how the dealer presented them). The Alexx Vs were driven by a Burmester that looked like a dorm room refrigerator. They sounded so cold and analytical I thought it may snow in the listening room. :)
If you’re cool with the money part give a listen to the 5 years in the making Audio Research 330m units. I heard them here in the Carolinas and they were stunning. I want to get a pair of WPs driven by the 330ms.
That’s just one man’s opinion but I’m a critical listener.
Have fun with the discovery process!
