i presently have eggleston andra-2's and ml-33h which sound
very musical. and remarkably the ml-33h in MY living room
have drawn me into the music- at the dealer they conveyed
accuracy but little more. i have also heard the wp-7's at the dealer and again great 3-d imaging and very good resolution
but no "wow, this sounds so much more like real instruments/voices, etc." so i want a home audition to see if the same thing that occurred with the ml amps might also happen with the speakers. BUT!!- i cannot move wp-7's around alot altho' toe-in or height adjustments are not a problem. so, my question again is- what is the likelyhood that wilson can fulfill my wish for greater involvement in the MUSIC, regardless of imaging and all that other good stuff. the 2 schools of thought in this discussion are very well expressed, however the andras (ugly as hell but what can you do?!) do everything i could want with the music. i listen to the boring stuff- baroque/jazz/etc. i never "crank it up"
anymore- so i need to hear the majic at old-guy volume (as my dad used to say- turn that s@@@t down!). thanks for any response.
thanks for your response. i heard the wp7 with transparent opus cables, 33h amps, i forget the cd player, a ml-32
preamp. the room has a nasty bass node that was not the fault of the speaker- i've heard it before with other speakers. the imaging was like 5 speakers spread out in a semi-circle- phenominal/eerie/etc. female vocals was good but my impression at the time was "not any better than what i already have". the dealer would have liked to conduct the audition with tube (vtl-wotan) amps, but i prefer solid-state. so, lot's of accuracy/resolution/some of the best imaging i've ever heard. and lot's of questions unanswered.
fwiw, a truly great speaker should sound great with ss or tube gear/any decent cd/lp/in the home. i.e.- if you spend let's say 5k for a very good ss amp, that SHOULD suffice. i have a rowland consonance preamp- is that $3k piece "not good enough?!" while i am under the
wilson (it's the bentley of speakers) spell, i still
have my doubts about non-user friendly products just the same.
