"Anybody who has experienced a Dave Wilson demo will know just how meticulous he is when it comes to presentation. But for our visit he simply hadn’t had time to develop a full program, so after three tracks (two from CD and one on vinyl) it was open house and the chance to play anything we’d brought with us. With familiar music, the results were simply staggering, with a breathtaking sense of presence, dimensionality and acoustic coherence. No speaker system that I have ever heard comes close to re-creating the original event as convincingly as this one. A speaker like the Living Voice Vox Olympian captures the sense of presence and energy like no other, but the WAMM MC’s combination of bandwidth, resolution and temporal accuracy re-creates the recorded acoustic with a natural ease that is uncanny and utterly unforced, placing you at (within) the original event. That temporal and spatial precision combined with the system’s overall sensitivity makes for a beautifully scaled and expressive presentation, but the thing that really got to me was this speaker’s natural perspective. Performers weren’t just the size that you expected them to be; they were in exactly the right place too. But more than that, move back in terms of seating position (Dave Wilson's room offers three rows of seats) and the balance between direct and reflected energy alters exactly as it does in the concert hall -- and I’ve never heard a speaker system do that" - Roy Gregory .
