Experience with Wolcott's on cone speakers?


Most of the comments I've heard on Wolcott amps have to do with how well they drive Sound Labs, Maggies, or Quads. Who has some experience with Wolcott's on large full range cone speakers? How do they do?

I would have to agree with Albert, without even being there. Quite a while ago I contacted Dynaudio regarding the possibility of matching the Tenor OTL's with their speakers and they said "No Way!" There is a severe impedance drop well below 4 ohms that is just too much for OTL technology.

600 watts of transformer coupled power is definitely what those speakers need. I can also see why the Wolcott amps, even with the 220 watts would run out of steam.

On the other hand, I would bet anything that the new Tenor 150 HPS or 300 HPM's would drive them incredibly well.

Prairiedog: If you are yearning for the Wolcott's, I would urge you to visit either Duke or Albert to see how well they can light up SoundLabs. I would have to say that they really make them sing!
