Best Amp/Preamp/CD or DAC for Wilson Watt Puppy 7

Re: the Halcro. I found the DCD/Halcro system at my dealer phenomenal on the Wilson W/Ps and Sophias. True synergy. Never had power issues as well. In fact, had to turn down the music more often.

I recently heard the 7's with an all Levinson system and while I was very impressed with the gigantic imaging and control, I thought the Levinson sound was too hard. I later heard the Sophia's with a Musical Fidelity system and while I missed the control and the huge soundstage I thought it more like music. While even the thought of the cost of the Sophia's is out my reach, its not out of my thoughts and we'll see. After the demo I feel that my Sonic Frontiers Power 2 SE would mate well with those speakers.....

I had the good fortune of auditioning a pair of dm 58s for about a month with my W/P7s while my dealer considered taking on the line and no other regulars cut in on the dance. Using a Hovland HP 100 and Koetsu/Triplanar/Oracle analog source at the time I was spellbound. The Halcros are a most synergistic combination with the Wilsons, certainly their finest solid state companions. However, having amplifiers nearly as large as your speakers poses more problems than you might imagine, soundstage and aesthetics notwithstanding. With my W/P 7s they tended toward the genteel and sounded ever so slightly thin. And so I ended up with Jadis JA 100s now with an HP 200; a combination rocks, rolls, coos, purrs, spits, sighs and whispers sufficiently to keep me interested. For the time being at least.

LAMM ML1.1/2 amps, LL2 preamp, Accuphase DP-77 and Siltech Classic cables. I auditioned this system at CSA Audio and immediately started moving to this end. Just about there, saving for the speakers. NUFF SAID!
