Re: TAS: First Listen to the New Wilson Audio Modular Monitor (WAMM)
Intersting first take from TAS, however not much woofer piston area for an almost 700k MSRP speaker ( 12" and 10.5"woofers....isn't that what the 110k MSRP Alexx has?)
Oh I forgot they will be offering two outboard Subwoofer towers....one only wonders what the final MSRP will be for the "Fullrange" WAMM....
CHEERS....

Re: TAS: First Listen to the New Wilson Audio Modular Monitor (WAMM)
Even though Robert Harley is able to articulate his thoughts quite well, he is so predictable. Reading his reviews, the sound quality and impact of every component is in direct proportion to its price. Everything is the best & greatest until something more expensive comes along!

Re: TAS: First Listen to the New Wilson Audio Modular Monitor (WAMM)
Price aside, that is one ugly "conversation piece" for the guy who can buy anything whether he actually listens to it or not. But I guess there is no accounting for taste when unlimited resources are involved.

Re: TAS: First Listen to the New Wilson Audio Modular Monitor (WAMM)
I dont find the Speaker unattractive and i suspect like D'Agostino's amplifiers they prolly look better in real life than whats being captured in pics, color will play a big role in its presence, i would have done the mid/hi modules in black as an offset color to the rest of the speaker , i do like the adjustability of the top modules , good when adjusting for listening distance and room gain , setting it up will be a job and a half thou, listening distance will be very critical ...

Re: TAS: First Listen to the New Wilson Audio Modular Monitor (WAMM)
Agreed 100%!
In fact, there can only be one position with this speaker. Certainly no listening from behind, standing, or in front of the preferred seat.
However, the focus at the main listening position should be awesome!
Cannot see how it would do well at an audio show, with rows of seats.DPT4ME - Dynamics, Presence & Tone for Musical Engagement; MBP (3) - stripped down for music only; Shunyata Omega & Sigma USBs; ISO REGEN w/short Curious USB links; Berkeley Alpha USB; Aqua La Scala II Optologic DAC; Schiit Yggdrasil - fully updated; Ayre Codex dac - updated; Pass Labs INT-60 integrated amp; Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE-2 preamp, Quicksilver Mono 120 amps w/Tung-Sol KT150s; Quicksilver Mid Mono amps w/Gold Lion KT77s; Fyne Audio 703s; Symposium Svelte Plus & Ultra Platforms; REL S-812 subwoofers; Duelund DCA12GA speaker cables; AV Room Service EVPs, Stein Music Harmonizers, Duelund DCA16GA & 20GA ICs; Shunyata Denali 6000S/V2; Tripp Lite PCs; Wyred 4 Sound power cords; AudioDharma cable cooker; dedicated custom room; various GIK & ASC room treatments; etc.
