Wilson W/P 6 with Krell 350 MCX ?


I am a little gun shy about pulling the trigger on a pair of Wilson audio W/P 6 ($10,000) to go with my Krell 350mcx and krell KTC preamp. The Wilsons sound great in the store but it is a lot on Money! Tell me I am making the right move!

Thanks,
Duane

i tried a highly modified parasound 2200 mk2 (close sonically to the JC1) and i found it a bit too hi-fi, not musical enough.

switching to a SET amp reversed that relationship; not very hi-fi, but very musical...

i'd lose the krell but keep the WP6s. they're great speakers...
depends what you like. if you like hi-fi, krell & WP6s are fine.

i like music. thus the rec.

(yes, i've heard the krell monsters, thus the rec).

my SET puts out 55wpc into a 4r load, thank you. i've numerous acquaintances who've said they've never heard WPs sound as good as at my place...the amp is why. i've no idea how flat the response curve is; i don't care. it sounds good. (fwiw, rolling the highs w/ WPs is a good thing; the tweeter is too hot).

the WP6s are amusical. so is krell (at least older models). partnering the two together is a great way to impress people w/ a system you won't listen to when they're gone.

only a rare SS amp can make the WPs sing; older krell isn't it.
maybe 9' from front baffle. so yes, room size may very well impact amplifier compatibility.
