Thanks.

Can you ask what was the system that was being used with the WAMM´s?

Not to steal Struan's thunder, but the system played during training consisted of

UltraMaster Tape Recorder (30ips 2 Track)
Basis TT/ Vecteur Arm/ Lyra Etna
Vivaldi Stack
ARC REF10 Phono
VTL 7.5 Pre
D'Agostino M400 Amps

Master Subsonics are designed specifically for the WAMM using different drivers (3) and enclosures.

Wow...way cool. What are the basic specs/dimensions? Any photos by any chance? Would love to see...curious as to what the combined footprint looks like.

I get a kick out of seeing that ultra modern speaker surrounded by all that 1980's mauve furniture and drapery.

Lloyd,
Really like what you've created. Beautiful job and a great inspiration to bring aesthetics into the mix. Is the back open on your rack? Wondering about heat with the glass doors.

Thank you. It makes a big difference (to us) that the system not only sounds great, but looks great in the room. Appeals to more of the senses i suppose. Yes, the back is open (against the wall...the lower shelves have a slanted panel so that heat dissipates up and out more quickly. We also have a glass 'wing door' on the sides of the cabinet about 7 inches wide that run flush from the edges of the back of the rack flush to the wall so the cables that stick out from the back slightly in that 7 inch space to the wall are slightly more hidden from view as well.

It was a great group of guys who visited us for our Wilson Way - Wilson Audio Training. I don't know who your rep is but the all European group really enjoyed Wilson Audio and Utah.

Right now we are just trying to keep up. WAMM production is sold out through early-mid 2018.

Are you guys still accepting orders from your dealers for the Wamm ?

I think they are too tall for my current space. Wamm's would require a new house purchase too. That is a few years away. My next house requirements are 4-6 car garage and room for wamms. :D

Pedro is an audio sage...incredibly talented, knowledgeable and hard working. He is the one people ask to fly out across continents because he really is that good. Plus, he is an absolutely first class human being. He set up our Wilsons (twice), helped us do the underfloor cabling with the big TA Opus Gen 5 speaker and Opus MM2 IC cables (which was no small feat). He even helped us out on our old Gryphon amp when it needed re-capping.

That is indeed the Pedro I have known for decades. It was our great pleasure to have him visit us in Utah.
