Wisdom Audio Adrenaline 75 dipoles?

Why would you but these 15K speakers unheard?? Just because Harry Pearson likes them??
Hey, got another spare 15 grand to spend?...I got a bridge you might want to buy, sight unseen!

Well, lets see, everyone has a pair, I guess I could run across the street and give them a listen before I decide
you geek.
Who said I paid 15K, why don't you go jump off that bridge
you have for sell.

Are these alway's the type of replies you get when you really need some good advise?

Hi Telescope, I have heard these speakers twice. I have no more than maybe 4 hours of listening time so my comments may not be accurate. Some of the Best bass I have heard. From the lower mids on up they sounded very musical, warm, and liquid. Colorations were on the euphonic side of accurate. This system had all Goldmund top of the line gear. I enjoyed the sound very much but at times it did sound a touch lazy or a little slow. This could be attributed to the electronics, room or set up. I thought this speaker had tremendous potential. Please remember I spent very little time with this system and my comments may not reflect the sound of this speaker. I hope things work out for you. Do not let the first reply get you upset. 99% of Audiogon's members love to give help. You just happen to get a reply from that 1%. Best of luck to you. I think you might have picked a winner.

Thanks Brulee, Just the kind of info I am looking for.

Anyone else? :o)

I have heard the current production monopole Wisdom Audio systems, which use basically the same driver as the older dipole Adrenaline system. I was considering adding Wisdom Audio to my line (I'm a dealer). But I heard the same thing Brulee did - the sound was slow, and the top end was lifeless. The electronics I heard the speaker with were first class. I think the problem is this - the Bohlender-Graebner ribbons in the Wisdom Audio speakers are able to go down to 125 Hz, which is quite impressive, but also means they have to be made quite rugged. The strong, rugged diaphragms trade off a bit of top end. This is perhaps a reasonable design choice, but not one I could endorse. I did not pursue becoming a Wisdom Audio dealer.
