Very exhilarating speaker, but I could never get the bass under control even with fairly constipated high-current/damping factor SS amps. Course, now years later I'm a SET & horn guy... Curious as what you amplification setup is. Those speaks RAWK!

It's one of the few speakers I used to own that I still miss from time to time. When they first came out, I was working for a Snell dealer which sold a ton of Wilson...the owner of the store, a very well-respected recording engineer, said upon hearing the B for the first time, "if I was Wilson, I'd be worried". Of course, history did not play out that way, but to my ears as well, the Snells slaughtered many much higher-priced fare of that time. Enjoy!
