I own a pair of WP7's and have been driving them with a Parasound HCA-3500. I cannot get that amp to clip no matter how hard I push it. The bass is unreal. The down side is the parasound is way too harsh and grainy sounding when critically listening. The focal tweet is not a good match with that amp. Definately need something more refined, any helpful hints . . . trying to stay under $3,000. Supposedly AYRE's are a good fit?
Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8?
I have a pair of W/P8 for over a year, used with Krell 700cx amp. The system sounds great but I crave for a little more warmth and glow in the midrange, overall airiness in the treble and soundstage plus a more natural/real presence of acoustics. I have audition Audio Research Ref210s with W/P8, love the sound but was bothered by the overly full mid bass(typical of tube amp?) and the slight loss of focus and precision when compared to my Krell amp. Well controlled bass and a tight mid bass are top priority. What amps, SS or tubes, have you owned that optimise the sound performance of your W/P8s. Thanks for sharing your experience.
