Wilson CUB I

Bummer it didn't work out for you. 

All the best

Well… didn’t get a response, and now the listing is gone. Hope some audiophile out there lucked out on a $500 pair of CUBs.

sorry for wasting y’all’s time.

As the 2 gentlemen above stated, your amp will work fine with those speakers. Cubs are not all that hard to drive & 400wpc at 4ohms will work well. 

Good luck!

@rsf507 

they’re about a four hour drive, but I’m game. Just waiting for a reply to my email. I dunno, the price was low enough that it occurred to me that someone might just be trolling audiophiles. Seen that before. We’ll see.

your amp will do fine 

@rfnoise your amp will have NO problem driving the CUB's. If they are local go have a listen and please report back your thoughts.

Well, I emailed the guy, so I guess I’ll find out what the deal is…

@audiotroy 

I don’t know, my amp makes something like 400wpc into a 4ohm load. I’d hope that’d be enough.

@boxer12 

Nothing especially illustrious. I have an LS25 MKII feeding a D400.

@rfnoise - They worked well in a 15' square room. I had them 8' apart, 3' from front wall, & listened (on center) approx. 8' away from them. What Arc amp do you own?

op it depends on condition if they are cheaper the 2k they might be worth it however your  arc might nor  drive them well so you really need to try them first 

@boxer12 

Any idea how they would do in a small room/midfield setup?

These are substantially cheaper than $2k… so much so that I’m a lil suspicious…

Anyway, thx for the reply.

The cubs are really good speakers for the money (most seem to go for around $2000 a pair). Given the room, they will throw a nice soundstage. I had them in my dedicated room for a few years until they were replaced by B&W 802D’s. I’m currently running the cubs in our HT & still enjoying them.

Oh, and they’d be paired with ARC gear of similar vintage, if that’s relevant.
