i owned the wavac 572 (50w SET) w/ WP6s, and while it was magical (!!) in the mids, the bass was bloated and round. using speaker cables that provided for impedance matching (ie: transparent & MIT) helped a lot, but went SS...got the bass and dynamics i wanted, but lost the mids.
Like Triode, I use the "little Lamm" ( in my case the ML2) with AvG Duos and they are beautiful in combination. You should run a couple searches here because I thought the consensus was that the ML2 worked pretty well with the Watt up until the most recent - Sasha? - iteration. ( no direct experience on my part but please check- I think there are many threads on this here). One thing you should do it get Vlad to go over them for you and if you live anywhere near NYC, make it a junket. ( if your closing "cheers" indicates that you are from a British isle, colony or former protectorate, see what your dealer can do- those babies are pretty big to be shipping- we drove mine to his place for a tune up and he fixed them in a couple days - cranky on/switch and a degraded tube socket) The amps should be retubed - you are basically forced to buy the big tubes from Vlad even though they exist from other sources due to how he matches them to each amp. And roll the 12a tube with a Nos tele. Let us know what you think.
Thanks for the replys. I have heard that the large Wilsons are actually easiler to drive than the W/P's. Another question is that if the amp is always being overloaded and clips. Would it shortened the life of the transofrmers?
