| Wilson Audio Haters With small 8" woofers obviously you need a subwoofer. 2 x 8 inch does not even equate to a 12 inch. Furthermore small voice coils and less Xmax and poor linearity and poor heat handling make small woofers totally inadequate for ultra LF - so excep... | |
| How often is your system "good"? System sounds great when the wife is out. Simply put I can crank it to realistic concert levels or the sound of real instruments and that to me is where a high end system shines most - loud, dynamic and yet absolutely crystal clear effortless sound. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? You are free to believe whatever you like. I don’t think lawsuits are ever likely because all the cables work and are generally not harmful. Since when did someone successfully sue a vendor for selling a $50 product for $5000 or $4950 profit .... ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @crazyeddy. I think it is more likely that the best amplifier designers know that there are limits to technology and also human hearing. At some point extra costly aesthetics and marketing become much more important than measurable improvements in... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @ricred1 Your PL500 must sound fantastic. My comments above with regard to MA design are primarily directed at Bo who is a shill for MA on a thread about Wilson. The design choices or trade offs MA have made have clearly resulted in a world class ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @erik_squires "your writing confuses beaming with lobing and compression"No it does not. I am just talking about trade-offs between several related factors.One way to solve compression problems from a driver with inadequate SPL or not enough linea... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @erik_squires Sorry but you are misinformed - single drivers can and do beam and ALSO can have lobes - just not as common a problem as not many folks use 3 inch tweeters for 3.4KHz and above range! You are absolutely correct that lobing occurs mor... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @erik_squires I am sure you are right that AMT can be built to avoid compression however doesn’t this result in a transducer that is too large a diaphragm for the frequencies they transmit? In short: Eliminate the compression means you begin to ha... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @bo1972 I looked at the stereophile article and I am entirely correct. The folded ribbon AMT style tweeter is indeed too large for the high frequencies it is producing. Although not an Appolito design for this particular model, MA have used this ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @bo1972 You just keep showing your ignorance when you criticize my gear. Just as you look ignorant dismissing Wilson. Take a good look at those tweeters on your favorite spurious artifact producing speakers - too tall for the job - technically ina... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Bo has simply discovered the weird directivity effects of ribbons. Nothing new about that. A ribbon tweeter is much too tall for the frequencies it is transmitting. This means you get weird flanger comb filter type effects - some frequencies total... | |
| Wilson audio MAXX 1 VS Wilson Audio Alexandria X2-1 This may seem counterintuitive but the best way to get more mid range clarity may be to tame the bass on this monster. Almost all Wilson have a characteristic bass resonance around 80 Hz (usually 5db boost around 60 to 100 Hz) and Wilson tend to b... | |
| 12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair?? Just a bunch of individual wires soldered together at each end to make two speaker wires from many. Anyone can do it with a few parts from RadioShack - heat shrink tubing, wire strippers and cutters, and a soldering iron. | |
| Stand mount speakers for a very large room !! +1 for Wharfdale Jade 3 Impressive mid range response! No mid range off axis response dip as is commmon in nearly all speakers (even high end speakers)Can such a small speaker really fill your room - that would be my concern - since you have an SV... | |
| atc scm40 v2 and c1 subwoofer ATC are very musical and their subs integrate well. The subwoofer bass is clean and tight - ideal for music but not boomy (for movies). I would not hesitate if you already know you like the 40's. |
