Hey Lloyd

How much? Less or more than the new Wamm?

wow...when you say you prefer it to Pendragon, are you saying the lower bass element (i note that the Kodo Bass towers are physically bigger though they seem to share the same 8 x 8" woofers)...or are you saying that the main towers are producing better upper bass (ie, cone bass)? Or perhaps something else? Most curious!

And you seem to be getting much more. Real estate at least. Makes one wonder how Wilson can justify the humongous ptice of the WAMM.

I will say, 4 towers is indeed a lot of speaker. I know what has happened just adding the Velodyne DD18+ to the Wilsons...2 dedicated towers (fully integrated into the design by the designer...and even with amps designed by the designer)...must be pretty awesome.

However crazy that may sound, they actually look to be good value compared to many 200k designs.

Yup bass towers . Some prefer Pendragon ribbons.... to me it's more like comparing Porsche to Bentley . Both are damn good .

How do the Kodo bass towers improve upon the Pendragon bass towers? (I am pretty sure they use the same amplifier.)

Stunning! I am curious as to how it sounds in comparison with the older Poseiden 4-tower and the newer Pendragon. Thanks for any insight!
