Tubed amps for WP7s
Thanks for your responses. I had the Rowland 302s driving Eidolon Diamonds and thought they were a very synnergistic match -- in fact somewhat tubey. Unfortunately, I sold the Rowland with intentions of going SET. Prior to my Rowland/Eidolon owner... 
Wilson WP 7 with Air Tight ATM 211
The Air Tights probably don't have the most robust power supplies. However, their transformers are made by Tamura -- one of the best in the industry. It probably has more to do with the design topology. I've heard good things about the darTZeels b... 
Wilson WP 7 with Air Tight ATM 211
Thanks for your response. I've seen WP7s driven by 18WPC Lamm SET gear and sounded wonderful. Are the ATM211s less capable of handling difficult loads than the Lamm ML2s? 
Tenor 75WP or Lamm 1.1 for Kharma Midi Grand?
Thanks to everyone who responded. Looks like the majority prefer Lamm due primarily to the stability of the company. Thanks again. 
What is a better value speaker -- Kharma 3.2FE at
RGS92, well said. Thanks. I agree that the WP6s had a somewhat "hot" tweeter but was able to tame that down to a tolerable level with the addition of a good tubed preamp (I used to go direct from CD to amp). The WP7s seem to have a bit smoother to... 
What is a better value speaker -- Kharma 3.2FE at
DGAD, good point about the potential "end of life" of the WP7s. If I purchased them at full retail now and the WP8 is released (or announced) soon after, that would cause an instantaneous decline in value. If I go with the WP7s, I'll probably get ... 
What is a better value speaker -- Kharma 3.2FE at
Thanks for the responses. I did have the WP5.1, then the WP6 and was happy with both speakers matched with either SET or solid state amps. Then I switched to the Eidolon Diamonds -- these were the best sounding speakers I've heard (driven by a Row...

Budget Amp for Avalon Eidolon
The Rowland 302, which can be had used for under $9000 is a great match as well.

ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s
Just an update on the progress I've made based on Doug's and Speedy's recommendations...Although the 'brightness' issue on my ZYX/2.2 setup has not completely gone away, I believe I've made some progress. Since Friday, 11/11, I've been fine tuning...

ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s
Doug/Sirspeedy/Nrchy/Thom,I truly appreciate your recommendations which will commence tonight. This will certainly be a drawn out process and just hope that I don't reach the analysis paralysis stage before achieving improved performance.Don't get...
