I own WP7's and have been enjoying them immensely with Ayre K1-x pre/phono and the Ayre V5 125w SS amp. I have them in a 18 x 15' room. this combo (with Goldmund 18d uni player or my SME 30/2a + helikon as sources) is just amazingly lifelike, dynamic and delicate while also having a nice punch. I also own a krell FPB 300cx, a marantz 8b ( re-issue) and some jadis defy 7 monos and will spend time with those on the wilsons shortly to see what else plays well w/them. i heard these and dumped my Sonus Faber Amati Homages for them. those speakers - loved them - these ? love their all-around abilities ( can rock/jazz w/o breaking a sweat - where the amatis would start to get lost in the music).. they remind me of the best of my old Aerial 10t's mixed with the speed of Martin Logans.. i know, you weren't asking that but i'm listening to a mofi disk right ('girl from ipanema') now and just loving it ( and it's sunny outside !) - Kevin
Amp for Wilson Watt Puppy 7
Looking to owners of WP7's out there for opinions on which amp to purchase for these fabulous transducers. Open to any and all takes. Is in the context of home theater and music around 50/50. I'd like to be able to take advantage of their ability to do 3D imaging, so tubes are in strong consideration. ARC and VTL seem to be high powered which they may like. Also, anyone with BAT 6200's , Plinius or Theta other powerful but delicate amps running? Also, can SET's or low powered tubes do the job??? There's a tasty LAMM ML1 available now ;>)
