Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8
JkalmanI was expecting them to be A LOT betterA LOT better?? Are you for real? What more do you need a BJ? Here is a speaker that goes a full octave above and below the WP, doing it in a smooth and linear fashion with a step response that makes th...

You keep mumbling and I will keep telling you that there is very little value in assessing speakers based on their in-room measurements. Particularly you’re in-room measurements which are not even averaging/sampling approximates area measurements....

Jk,Sorry for referring to your conclusions based on the in-room measurements you supplied. If you are aware of their shortcoming, why are you posting them? Anyway, back to the subject, the Ultima tweeter is not shelved. It has a rise response, sta...

Jkalman,You are giving your in-room measurement too much weight. These measurements below 600 Hz have little to do with the speakers and a lot to do with the room. Above, although you are measuring room reflections as well, you can tell more about... 
Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont
Jkalman,I do not think you will have as much room problem with a proper acoustic suspension linear design like the Mini or even better the V3. 
Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont
Jkalman,You should really listen to a good implementation of a ring radiator. I Just read on avguide that you may be getting a Mini in. You should use your time with the Mini to, if nothing else, hear a truly linear, low distortion, design. And as...

Beryllium tweeters have breakups too. Quite nasty ones but at a much higher frequency then Titanium. BTW, the Focal TLR, which was used in the latest Utopias before the Be series, was a much better Titanium implemented design then the ones Wilson ...

Nonsense! It is the same tweeter. It anything, it behaves slightly better in version 7.

I would not mind but I am not trying to start a pissing match here. There are quite a few loudspeakers I would rather listen to then the W/P. I am also more than willing to accept that some may not like what I like.

I am not sure how me pointing out to what I hear as harshness and grain (Plus hollowness, lack of body, artificial upper midrange and lumpy bass) will make you hear it as well. Obviously, you purchase these speakers cause you liked the way they so...

to others it is refreshingly free of distortionBut it is not. If some prefer the sound of distortion, what exactly are we talking about? Subjective opinions with no merits behind them. And if you have to completely twist your system and room aroun...

Very typical response. All open for a discussion I'm not above admitting I am wrong; I'm only human but then again, not really I'm sorry if you have bored me in the past Make up your mind. In the mean time, go listen to any decent violin or sop...

While at it, you should add the Magico V3 to the list.

It is all in your headI am afraid it is on paper as well. I must be very luckyI guess that for Watt owners, hearing loss is a bliss.BTW, let it be known who started the insults trend (See Jkalman usual condescending posts above). I really do not m... 
Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8
Call me a bat but the Watt sound to me exactly like they measure. I believe that the word “bright” should be change to “harsh”. In regards to the break-ups, you need to keep in mind that when these get agitated, distortion levels of the entire twe...
