| wilson wp8 v. maxx2 Agreed. Maxx2 is a true upgrade. | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 John- i spoke with Ayre about Wilson compatibility, and it is one of the references I believe they use (with others, of course). From the room i heard at the show, i think it would be an awesome combo (the new monos)although i would still prefer a... | |
| Watt Puppy 8 vs. Zu Definition I heard both too, and want to hear each again. I am going through the same decision making process. Honestly, if the 8s were still 23-24k list I would lean that way as I own and love Wilsons. However, they aren't, and 30k is a much different prici... | |
| Amp for Virgo III's Always sounded good with Cary gear---805s, V12s, whatever. Great combo. | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 Bartokfan:You were probably talking about 5.1 or 6s back then---i agree they were fatiguing. The 6s drove me crazy and it didn't matter what electronics i heard them with---that tweeter was hot.The Sophia broke that mold and has followed through w... | |
| Looking for floorstanders in the 7-8K range? Used, a pair of Wilson Sophias would be superb in your setup.KeithR | |
| Best monitor under 5k? Dynaudio 1.3SE was one of the best monitors i've owned. A steal used.I also like Wilson Cub IIs if you have the space and $... | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 I heard them. Sounded great and better than my recollection of the 7s---very well integrated drivers and not fatiguing at all. Not surprised as I love Maxx2s tweeter as well.I did not hear them on more grandish music either---solo bass, chorals, a... | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles I think at 30k you need a sense of scale that only larger speakers can give you. While the monitor/sub combo has matured with the 8, and its a great speaker, at some point value has to come in. The low end, while good on the 8s isn't close to say ... | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles Thoughts on the Zu room? First time i had heard them. Seemed like the couch was setup in a room node (i asked as bass seemed weak for 4 10" powered woofers) which hurt bass response of the definitions, but thought the rest was really good for the ... | |
| Spectral DMC 20 Series 2 vs, Spectral DMC 30 SL? What is the list price on DMC 15? I called Spectral, and they told me the same thing---find a DMC 15 vs. buying an older 20. | |
| Rowland "house sound"? I've had both Rowland 201s and Nuforce 9.02s and to my ears the Nuforce are clearly in a different league. Rowlands were definitely stale in my system. | |
| NuForce Popping Plato- any comments on the 9SEs?Thanks,KeithR | |
| Top resale value speakers Elizabeth:your analysis is a bit flawed as the 1850 you received is MUCH less than the 2200 you paid in real dollars (inflation adjustment) Its only around 900 bucks. (still not a bad deal, of course)KeithR | |
| Ayre V-5xe best tube pre-amp to match with? Frankpiet--not at all. The 31SE is a great preamp at prices on this website. It just isn't a 51SE---just looking at the build quality alone, its quite obvious. I spoke to BAT on this, and they think the 31SE perhaps is the great bargain---though i... |
