Thought this was as good a place as any to post this...lol
My experience with Wilson
Last week I bought a used pair of Wilson Witt mk1 ( yes the cheapest Wilsons you can get, gotta start somewhere!)
After spending about 60 minutes or so working on placement, although they ended up very close to previous Focal 826v placement, I sat down for some critical listening impressions.
4 hours later I was still there, with the grin getting wider possibly in direct relation to the increasing volume I was trying.
Definitely my ears gave up before the Wilsons did!
Very very solid powerful controlled bass, great soundstage and vocals.
BUT......they definitely do not suffer poor source material to wit....
Was playing Tidal and 2 albums back to back exemplified this point.
1/ remastered version of Crime of the Century by Supertramp.... absolutely in heaven, the piano on the title track was just ethereal in nature and i could find no fault with any song on the album or its replay.
2/ Pollinator by Blondie....oh good lord, WHOEVER mixed this new album should have been taken out and shot! What I would describe as disco bass, overblown boom, boom, boom blah! And as for the higher registers? I thought the tweeters had blown! cymbals were just all tizzy and splashy, truly awful, could only manage a coupel of tracks before had to turn that off.
Quality electronics and quality source paired with Wilsons and you should be in heaven.
Anything less and they will ruthlessly annihilate your music!
