| Wilson Watt Puppy, which version? I also suggest the Sophia 2 unless Vdosc is considering a different power amp. At one point I owned a VT100Mk2 and WP5.1's. The ARC doesn't have enough juice to drive the WP, the 5's through 8's are a similar load, to their full potential. Yes it ... | |
| Wilson Audio Question compaired to Vandersteen Audiofreakgeek is overreacting. His comments and my reaction indicate only that IF one is going to go with Wilson that the Sophia 3 is a better move than a WP7/8. Of course there are lots of other choices. KEF and Revel come to mind. But, given wh... | |
| Wilson Audio Question compaired to Vandersteen Your speakers are awfully good, but if you want something different and more exciting a Wilson would be a good choice. I wouldn't go with a used WP 7 or 8. Audiofreakgeek nailed it, get the Sophia 3. | |
| Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2 The way any speaker interacts with a room is unpredictable. Pkoh70 may have found the Revels more placement sensitive than the KEF, but that doesn't necessarily mean such will always or even usually be the case. The reviews of the Salon 2 I've see... | |
| Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2 The conclusion that the KEF is generally more system/room compatible than the Revel is hard for me to follow. Other than the fact that the Revel does need more power. In fact, they both are more flexible than most large floor standing speakers bec... | |
| Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2 While I find the previous post thoughful and well reasoned, my thoughts are slightly different. Once you start looking at speakers at this level your room and equipment take on greater and greater significance. Dealer demos are next to worthless a... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 vs. Watt/Puppy 7 I think you'll find that the Sophia II will be more compatible with less expensive electronics than the WP7. With state of the art electronics the WP7 would come back into play, but with speakers of this quality which one is "better" is difficult ... | |
| RevelStudio2 really special or I need to hear more System synergy is always important. A ML 433 drives my Studio 2's as well as my C52. The match works very well, which isn't a surprise given the electronics Revel probably uses to voice their speakers. | |
| RevelStudio2 really special or I need to hear more James63,Directionality doesn't come into play nearly as much in live music as it does at home. So, to me, a speaker that isn't directional is closer to what we're all trying to recreate. Driver integration is important and the Studio 2 is truly sp... | |
| RevelStudio2 really special or I need to hear more The Revel Studio 2 is truly a great speaker. I went from Quad ESL 63'a to Wilson 5.1's. The Quad was smooth, transparent, had great imaging and resolved low level detail even at low volumes. The Wilson was vastly superior in dynamics and slam, but... | |
| Revel ultima 2 salon owners biwire or not I just purchased a pair of Studio 2's. With my speaker wire if I use the upper, "HF", binding posts I cannot get the door to shut and lock. The door has a lip on the inside. With the lip, there simply isn't enough room for the wires to fit inside ... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha I've owned WP 5.1's and Thiel 2.4's. One of the things Wilson speakers are known for is their electrostatic like resolution of low level detail. The material used in their cabinets, while expensive, absorbs less energy than conventional MDF. While... | |
| Advice for speakers under $4K for mixed use I suggest the Revel F52. A used pair would be well within your price range. My pair replaced a pair of 2.4's. In my room, with my equipment, the Revel was just as transparent as the Thiel but did not highlight problems in recordings nearly as much... | |
| Replacing Wilson WattPuppy 5's Dr. John,I drove my WP5's for some time with an ARC Classic 60. While 90% of the time I was happy, it was only after I tried a Levinson 335 that I realized what I was missing. A tube amp like mine, and yours, will not control the bass as well as a... | |
| Replacing Wilson WattPuppy 5's I bought a pair of WP5's in 1995. While overall they are great speakers, they have an upper midrange that is troublesome. On most recordings they sounded great, but massed strings were always a problem. Any brightness in the recording was magnifie... |
