Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am

I may be wrong, but I thought the new IM-BEN's were around 92 dB sensitivity. Anyway, the Wright 3.5's should give you plenty of volume depending on your room size and listening preferences. I don't own any Wright gear, but I've heard them on a few occassions, wonderful stuff. I'm a SET/single driver convert myself about 2 years ago. I've never looked back. Some will say that the single driver and SET will not give you lower frequency satisfaction. Just remember, you can always use a sub to add that lower energy--that's what I did. Supposedly the IM-Ben, even with it's smaller Fostex 108 driver, gives a more solid foundation in the lower mids. There are smaller, fast subs like Terry's own Bailey, ACI's Force, and REL's offerings that mate quite well. Look over at 6moons for the latest review of the IM-Ben/Bailey combo--looks like another winner. No connection with Cain & Cain, just a happy Abby owner, and future I-Ben ES owner (hey!, A guy can dream can't he!)

Brad,
Were you referring to the 6moons review of the ABBY/Bailey combo? If I missed the review of the IM-Ben, please list the link here.

By the way, have you heard the Ben ES? I've not heard them, but they sure do garner some rave comments.

Sorry about that. The IM-BEN review is at Enjoy the Music.com by Ian White not 6moons, got them mixed up. Very good review by someone who is familiar with T. Cain's designs.

No, I haven't heard the Ben ES, just going on what I've heard. My room is too small currently to do them justice---One of these days.........?
