| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker I’m not sure of your question concerning the age of the gear. If you are asking about the VTL S400, it was one of the first produced, however it has since been sold. As to upgrades, the S400 is a single box stereo amp, and the Siegfrieds are indiv... | |
| Walker listening experience wanted I am also located outside Phila with a ton of Walker equipment Turntable with latest mods, Phono pre-amp, Velicitors, Silent Source etc. You are welcome to contact me. Additionally, Walker is located in the area (about 30 minutes from me). He is... | |
| VTL 6.5 vs VTL 7.5 Very few differences(1) Output coupling caps are smaller on the 6.5(2) 6.5 uses unshielded relays; 7.5s are shielded(3) Of course the 7.5s power supply is physically separate.Luke Manley claims that the 6.5 delivers 85% or more of the 7.5 sonics... | |
| Walker Diamond arm Just had mine installed. It is a MAJOR upgrade in almost every respect -- more detail, more speed, more resolution. This is a 'must have' upgrade. | |

| DarTZeel Preamp Sjmgr asks “Please let us know the approximate date for your upcoming review of darT pre-amp, if possible”Assuming JTinn, darTZell and the audio gods all fall into place; I should get the pre-amp next month. 6moon protocol requires a review turnar... | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Back to the original points…I wrote the 6moons review, and can add a few points to the discussion. First the 108 amp has more than enough power to drive the X-2’s to ear splitting levels without clipping. Led Zep at 90db is no problem in a medium ... | |
| Wilson Alexandria X-2 with ML N33??? You cannot bi-amp the X-2s. As Cytocycle, stated the X-2s are very efficient. They could be driven easily with 50-100 watts. Even if you could use both, it would be overkill. As a current X-2 owner and former 33h owner, the X-2s will knock your... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker I first heard the S400’s at the New York HE show in May. They were powering JM Utopia Be’s (I believe). I was familiar with the JM sound. The VTL’s made the JM’s sound great especially for show conditions. However, as good as the s-400’s are, I do... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker Mejames,The s-400 are VTL newest amps. They are an “affordable” descendent of their reference Siegfried monoblock. I heard the S-400 at the New York HE show and talked to Bea from Vtl at length. She claimed an amazing synergy with VTL and the X-2’... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker You are right about my wife, not only is she my listening partner, she has a superb ear for sound quality and she allowed me to re-mortgage the family home to buy speakers! How’s that for incredible?As to the Opus, unfortunately (because of the pr... | |
| Power Cords for Tenor 75 Tried six high end cables. Nothing came close to the Omega Mikro cords. The synergy is stunning with the tenors! | |
| What did you replace your DQ-10's with? Loved these speakers. Had them modded with ribbon tweeters. Got them for college graduation and my graduation into the audiophile world (from Bose 901's!). Moved to Acoustat 2+2's. Today I have my ultimate - Wilson X-1's.Vinvl_Mike | |
| New Tenor Hybrid Has anyone compared the stereo 150s vs. the monoblock 300s? How close is the performance between the two? I currently own the 75s and they provide a magical combo with the Wilson x-1s. These efficient speakers dont require a lot of power. If ... |
