Re: Dave Wilson's WAMM Master Chronosonic Loudspeaker Reaches For The Heavens
its interesting to note how much labor is involved (lottsa man hours) from the point the cabinets are prepped for the gelcoat stage onward. its mainly all for cosmetic reasons.

Re: Dave Wilson's WAMM Master Chronosonic Loudspeaker Reaches For The Heavens
So Wilson Audio should deliver a LaFerrari in primer? Hardly. Your LaFerrari should be finished as well as your Wilsons.
Balance is important. Authentic Excellence is important - in all aspects.
Wilson Audio ceased to be a garage kit car 30 years ago. If that is wrong, so be it.

Now we're comparing Wilson speakers to Ferraris. I guess when they named it the "Chronosonic" it was to confuse potential Patek Philippe buyers too

Re: Dave Wilson's WAMM Master Chronosonic Loudspeaker Reaches For The Heavens
Thanks for posting ,
Nominal Impedance: 3 ohms / minimum 1.77 ohms @ 310 Hz
Sensitivity: 90 dB @ 1W @ 1m @ 315Hz
Frequency Response: 20 Hz*—33 kHz +/- 2 dB
Minimum Amplification Power Recommended: 100 watts/channel
Based on these preliminary specs its going to take a solid muscle amp to drive the WAMM , expect sensitivity to be less than 90db , since WA choose not to give it at the typical center frequency value of 1K ..
No Big deal , at the necessary budget required to play with one, I'm sure there's a Boulder amp capable of chugging it along without issue ...
Regards

Re: Dave Wilson's WAMM Master Chronosonic Loudspeaker Reaches For The Heavens
Many amps were used in the 5 year development. Multiple amps have been used in demonstrations, but never a Boulder..yet.
Certainly someone will want to hear WAMM that way at some point. If experience is any indicator.
there are quite a number of great amps out there not yet tried - and not necessarily having mammoth power output - that will pair beautifully.

Re: Dave Wilson's WAMM Master Chronosonic Loudspeaker Reaches For The Heavens
Yeah ,
Im sure there are many very capable amps out there which can drive the Wamms out of them , my good friend Morricab may even suggest an SET or 2..
What we now need is a good SOTA speaker shootout ,can there be one king or is that King dead ..

Re: Dave Wilson's WAMM Master Chronosonic Loudspeaker Reaches For The Heavens
It would die , the best threads are the derailed ones, filled with Passion , complexity, ideology and cognitive dissonance....
Taking it up a notch ,
That new WA Wamm will never work with Toobs , will Lamm sales suffer ...???? Will they Demo with Boulder, Darts, Ayre, vitus or Gryphon ?
Who will receive no1 ..?

The WAMM Master kind of reminds me of a Rolex watch.
