Von Schweikert vs Wilson

Mtdking,

It looks like you bought the WP8s in November. If they were new, how do they sound now? Mine will be new and I'm wondering how long they take to breakin in and smooth out.

Since I've only heard the Sasha, which I liked, but you didn't, I hope the WP8 will be more to my liking,as I hope they still are to you. How do you think they differ from the Sashas, now that you've had them for a couple of months? What speaker cables are you using?

Unfortunately, my Spectron amp is acting up and I may have to bring it in for service after CES (everyones is at CES now), around the time I pick-up the WP8s. Timing is everything. Maybe I'll play them with my old poolside Harmon Kardon receiver--Ouch!!

Keep me posted on your WP8s sound. Thanks guys.

Lube3 and Mtdking, I too am interested in hearing your (both) impression of the W/P 8s and your ancillary equipment supporting them (amps/preamps). While I am a multi-time owner of the 5 series (which I actually like better than the 6s for me - note, that is not a blanket recommendation of the 5s over the 6s, just my preference) and other Wilson models.

Having heard Wilson and VRs a number of times, both speakers can sound great & not so great.
Properly set up, hard to go wrong w/ either speakers.
However if given the choice, I would personally be inclined to go for the Wilson sound.
The VRs on the other hand are also very good...

No contest ... Get the Wilson's ...

regards,
