| Wilson Maxx 2 I cannot explain the difference in perception, other than to assume variables associated to systems/room differences etc. I used the word coherent specifically to address the superb driver integration and phase-correct presentation that I hear wit... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 I owned the 7's and Sophias prior to purchasing the Maxx 2's, and have listened at length with the Alexandrias under very controlled conditions. In my opinion, the 7's and Sophias represented a giant leap toward a more coherent and harmonically pu... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker I recently took delivery of the MAXX 2's, having previously owned the Sophias and WATT puppy 7's+WATCH Dog. In terms of dynamic scaling, coherence, tonal balance, image structure and density, I am left a bit speechless to describe the degree to wh... | |
| Is the Audio Aero Prestige available yet? No, it has not been released yet. Sometime this fall is what I have heard, but nothing concrete. You might want to check with Globe Marketing, the US/Canadian distributor.The Capitole is an exceptional player. | |
| Wilson MAXX II speakers- Yes, I know the 33's and 33H's well. They are exceptional amps that would mate extremely well with the MAXX 2's, as would a cornucopia of amplifier types, from single-ended to high-current solid-state. I did not infer that you have to have tubes w... | |
| Wilson MAXX II speakers- My MAXX 2's arrived last week, and straight out of the box they presented sound and images more accurately, more musically, than any other speaker system I've had through my room--and there have been many. Compared to my prior setup of Wilson 7's ... | |
| Has anyone heard th enew Epiphany's?? Yes, the speakers had been re-adjusted prior to my visit for a listen on Sunday. As with all shows, the difference between a Friday listen and Sunday can in some cases be quite dramatic. And the room, along with the single 15amp power line availab... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green As with many threads about music preference and experience, this one has evolved well beyond the original question, which many shared their opinion of as well, above.Another incendiary talent not mentioned, is a guitarist that was not strictly blu... | |
| Has anyone heard th enew Epiphany's?? I listened with the Epiphany's driven by the Tenor Hybrid's at the NYC show in a too small room with inadequate current (1 15amp line) driving the system, and thought they sounded phenomenal. Enveloping is a good word to describe their signature, ... | |
| Wilson Alexandria or JMLab Grande Utopia BE One of the wisest replies and insights I've seen here lately, Keith. I would extend that response to include virtually all opinion related discussions involving expensive electronics, speakers and accessories. More often than not, these opinion th... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. I have owned the Tenor 75 OTL's, and have listened with the Tenor Hybrid monos in different contexts, albeit within show systems. The Hybrids seem to offer far great power handling, yet retain the purity and resolution that made the OTL's magic. T... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? I'll qualify my post, as I am a former consumer, reviewer and now marketing and sales person for a company that manufacturers, among other things, power cords.From within the audio/video trade industry and in professional audio, the "power cords a... | |
| Has anyone heard the Shunyata Cables? NightHawk is correct. We learned that there were consecutive trials where the cables exhibited this behavior, and a subsequent test at the cable company affirmed this. We requested the Aries cables return after this and we noted the same issue Nig... | |
| Wilson Watt/Puppy 6 or 7 versus Sophia I have owned the Sophias and now own the 7's/WATCHDog combination. I agree with Keithr regarding the 6 vs 7 comparison, but would add that the 6's upper bass was thrust forward in comparison to the 7's and the soundstage of the model 6 was much mo... | |
| Shunyata versus Elrod Normally, we leave the internet to itself, but Artisic Audio's post and characterizations warrant some clarification. Artistic Audio was a Shunyata dealer for a brief time, and this relationship ended almost three years ago --before Elrod cables e... |
