New Wilson Benesch Resolution Speakers

Thanks a lot for all answers, I still think VA is a great amp but willing to try tubes, I never had tubes so it will be my first experience , what do you say, VAC phi 300 should be a match for my resolutions?

What does your local dealers carry? Ask them, and try out a few alternatives at home - that's the only trusted way forward. Wilson Benesch works well with many amps, but will naturally sound different depending on your choice. CH Precision and Ypsilon are two proven options - as a start.

Yesterday did a switch with a friend for VAC phi 300.1 and VAC Signature Pre. Approximately same price as my Vitus Pre and Power so we did it simple.

In general I getting used to new sound, installed it yesterday so it’s fresh.
My first impressions are good, I got more mid bass , lower bass is tight , women vocal is more forward then I expected .

I entered to the world of tubes that I not experience at , so a lot to learn now.
 
As a side comment, I have been using a Devialet D250 Pro to drive my Wilson Benesch Vector for a few years now and it is a match made in heaven.

I only makes me dream of upgrading my Vector to Resolutions or Act One Evolutions... but that will have to wait a bit I am afraid.

Anyway, I would advise anyone with amp match issues to look into the Devialet... it is hard to beat, whatever the price point and can drive whatever load you throw at it. IMHO these guys are 5 years ahead of the rest of the industry.

Cheers,

The problem that I have now is , vocal too forward then I would like to.
With Vitus I didn’t had such behavior.
 
Ok guys , I have a good update.
My friend gave me to try out Synergistic Research RED Quantum Fuses, I’m not a big believer in such voodoo stuff , and know exactly how fuse works, but....
But I was frustrated and said what a heck , let’s do it.
I installed it in my VAC signature pre and to my big surprise immediately noticed how sweet it started to play.
That night I couldn’t stop and go to sleep I played one tune after another and everything sounded so good so I went to bed only at 4:30 am , 7:30 I already had to get up [emoji4]. Since then I afraid to touch or change anything in the system not to ruin what I have.

Good review by Roy G as usual. I haven't spent a lot of time with Resolutions, but I've yet to hear a WB product that wasn't up to the task. The combo of WB and CH is nothing short of spectacular. Highest Recommendation......
 
“There are four sets of Wilson Benesch’s in-house binding posts (count ‘em), although they only allow biwiring. You select one pair from the three lower sets depending on whether you want full bass output, a 2dB cut or a 3dB cut, an arrangement that recognizes the fact that the Resolution might well find its way into smaller rooms.”

I thought there is an option till quad amping at least that what manual telling. so how I can connect in order to get more bass?
i did as manual suggested : speaker cable to Upper Midrange and from there jumpers connected to all sets.
 
You should plug speakers into top set of binding post then only one set of jumper leads to any of the lower pairs, but only one. For max bass output, use the bottom binder posts.
 
Heihei, What do you mean only one set of jumper?
What do you refer in first explanation? you can use the attached pic for explanation.

Regarding max bass , to lower the cables from mid where connected right now to isobaric one binder lower?

What options in general exist ?
In manual there is only one way explained and that’s how it appear in pic.
 
No - my manual explicitly states that only two sets of binding posts should ever be connected at once - the top one, and only one of the lower 3. This is in red capital letters so I'd assume it's very important this is done.

I think your connections may explain some of the previous issues you described with the Resolutions. I'd be interested if you think they sound different when connected as above.
 
OMG, manual that I got is completely different , I’ll do photo later when I’ll come home
