| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s OK Guys, I've had 3 hours with the McCormack DNA-750 Mono-Blocks (750 watts/ch into 8 ohms, 1000 watts/ch into 4 ohms) in my system, which consists of: Conrad Johnson CT-5 Pre-ampMcCormack DNA-750 Mono-Blocks (Demo for a week)McIntosh MVP-871 (Upg... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Has anyone heard about the McCormack DNA-750 Mono-Blocks? I guess they are made by Conrad Johnson, but I would guess similar to the DNA-500 with the benefits of 2 totally separate transformer/chassis with, maybe as much power, 750 watts/channel in... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Bigamp,Thanks for your response. Yes, the T+A may have been holding back the WP8s, but they did sound better than the Spectron Premiere amp. I would guess the Musician III will outclass both of those amps. I have heard good reports about the Atma-... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s I was talking to one of my dealers and he suggested I try the EAR 890 tube amp. It's only 70 watts of class A power and can be used as 160 watt mono-blocks, but he thinks it would be more than enough for the WP8s. The reviews, though old, are very... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Perrew,Unfortunately, the APL was reviewed poorly in 6 moons, especially in the bass, nor is it available to demo,so I have not pursued that. The Krells may have improved in the upper freqs, but class A generates too much heat for my un-airconditi... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Thanks guys. I contacted Martin Collms, of HiFiCritic, after he reviewed the WP8s and he very much favored high power/current Krell amps. Hes not a fan of any class D amps. He felt they lacked an organic completness to the sound, though he did not... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s I know this is an old post, but I hope someone can help. I just picked up a pair of wp8 and am currently using with a CJ CT-5 pre-amp which is single-ended only, and a Spectron Premiere 7-7 channel amp.I love the CJ, and want to keep it, but am co... | |
| Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8? I know this is an old post, but I hope someone can help. I just picked up a pair of wp8 and am currently using with a CJ CT-5 pre-amp which is single-ended only, and a Spectron Premiere 7-7 channel amp.I love the CJ, and want to keep it, but am co... | |
| Von Schweikert vs Wilson Mtdking,It looks like you bought the WP8s in November. If they were new, how do they sound now? Mine will be new and I'm wondering how long they take to breakin in and smooth out. Since I've only heard the Sasha, which I liked, but you didn't, I h... | |
| Von Schweikert vs Wilson Hey guys. Thanks again for all your input.Vandersteen makes agreat speaker, but since the 5A may have the same midrange as the 3As, and I was very impressed with the speed, transparency, and resolution of my PBNs, I decided to forego the 5As and a... | |
| Von Schweikert vs Wilson I went from 3A Sigs to the PBN EPS2s and, to me, the PBN are far superior, as in less veil, faster, greater resolution and transparency with a larger soundstage. I listened to the Quatro and I actually liked my 3A Sigs better.Now, I have not heard... | |
| Will a Conrad Johnson fan like Modwright LS 36.5 I sold my Modwright LS 36.5 because it didn't have enough gain or low-end power for my tastes. I will say Dan Wright was really great to deal with, as he modded the power supply to give me a stronger low-end, but not enough after hearing the CT-5.... | |
| Any experience with Thiel CS7.2 and PBN EPS2? Oh, I forgot to mention when demoing the Quatros, I also listened, briefly to the Usher 8571. My brief opinion is that the Quatro sounded better. Better resolution and transparency. Luba | |
| Any experience with Thiel CS7.2 and PBN EPS2? Hey Guys,I just auditioned the Quatros today. They used an Aesthetix (about 225 watts) amp, 2 Cary preamps-Cinema 11 and SLP-03, Cary tube/transistor CD player all tied together with some active Audioquest cables. I really thought the Quatros woul... | |
| Any experience with Thiel CS7.2 and PBN EPS2? Thanks Steve. I have a great deal on some Montana EPS2 w/my 3ASigs on trade. If they don't sound better, we'll unwind the deal. Thanks for the input(I've heard that from other time and phase coherent users), and I'll let you know what I hear!! |
