Description

After using Krell Amps, Mark Levinson Amps, B&W Matrix 800 Loudspeakers, Avalon Eidolon Diamonds and several others i fell in love with the Wilson Sound when i heard Wilson Grand Slamm's with Audio Research Amps at my dealer.

I could not believe what i was hearing the sound actually sounded real. I purchased the Grand Slamm's on the spot but have since upgraded to Alexandria's.

Now upgraded to Audio Note Dac 5 Signature.

2012 upgraded to Gryphon Mephisto Pure Class A Mono's weighing 240lbs each and Audio Research Reference Anniversary Pre-Amp.

Oneobgyn... I cannot comment on WA, period. I enjoy being an Audiophile 1st and foremost and liked the interaction with these forums. But... there will always be people who have to use them as a forum to attack. I have given most of my working life to WA, which makes me a perfect target for others.

It is a shame but it is better for all if I am not involved. I also think it is important that I am honest about my business involments in the Audio world, having said that if I truly thought there was a better speaker I would be the 1st to say so. So I hope you understand, there is only going to be conflict with some of the members here.

I have watched Albert, Mike and yourself get attacked by so called Audiophiles. Their only motivation seems to be an unpleasant, sad jealously.

Hopefully Andy will build a system 5, our order has been placed. We have moved house and we have a very special room being built as we speak.

Family is good thanks, Rockport is gone, I am somewhat broken hearted.

I would upgrade not sell, IMHO, no difference sonically. In fact I prefer the sound with the "backs" off.

I have the DAC 5 Signature, with all upgrades you are looking for.....

Maybe you should try that S2 upgrade?
