Review 3 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00 from london

Summary:
this is one hell of a speaker with very good stereo imaging and depth perception. i myself prefer the sonus faber stradivari which i found to be the best speaker i have ever heard regardless of price

Strengths:
very good bass, emotional and extremely easy to listen to

Weaknesses:
needs pertnering to good amps such as the krell fpb700cx and a good front end like a dcs three box cd

Similar Products Used:

Review 5 of 8

Summary:
Recently a buddy and I attended an open house for the relocation of a local high end dealer. When we arrived, we were greeted by a valet that parked my car in a parking spot that was 10 feet from where I handed him my key's. I know this is beside the point but this was part of my Wilson Experience. When we entered, the atmosphere was pleasant but somewhat different from what we were expecting. Alot of schmoozing and boozing. There was hardly any music playing!

We finally made our way to the "main" listening room and no one was in the sweet spot! I planted my fat behind and kicked back for a listen. They were playing some Harry Connick Jr. The first thing that I noticed was the the imaging was not very good. The sound eminated more from the left speaker and the room sounded bright. The sound was clear but a little harsh on the ear's. I was somewhat puzzled due the the associated equipment (Musical Fidelity Amps, Sony SACD, PS Audio Conditioning and Transparent Cables). I got the feeling that this speaker was being held back from it's true capabilities. This is probably due to the dealer not having enough time to tweek the setup. The speaker was massive and should've been voicing with dynamic and engaging sound. This review sound's a little harsh, but this is what I was hearing. My friend and I left the room and we barely spoke in the listening room. His comment's were the same as mine! I think that the room was not optimized. There was one set of sound panel's to the rear 2/3's of the room behind the listener.

I think that these are exceptionally well built speaker's and didn't have the setup they deserve. Maybe the turntable that was sitting idle may have been a better choice.

I went home that evening and turned on my Audio Research, Cal Audio,Pass, KEF LS3/5A, MIT cables etc.....

My face was sore from the dumb ^&* grin I had on my face
as I reflected my Wilson Experience.

Sorry but I really wanted to be impressed!!!!

Strengths:
A sight to behold.

Weaknesses:
May be too pricey for performance.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
