By which i mean the London, Chicago and Berlin open baffle speakers?

Would they have the bass output I've grown accustomed to with my Stellas?

They offer the intruiging proposition of field coils as dipoles, with apparently strong bass potential, given the on paper specifications. And I'm still very much on the lookout for dipoles that do bass?

Thank you for your observations

Difficult to say, probably not I'd say, unless you have a smallish room that stifles your Stellas. But the bass is clear and the filed coil coil offers extra flexibility

Have you considered the Linkwitz labs LX521? Open baffle, including the bass.

Thank you Greg
The Linkwitz speakers do look interesting. Good value too.
Only snag, it seems they come with dedicated amplifiers, and I'm very attached to my new 2160

Actually the amps are not mandatory.
However the 521s are 4-way with an external electronic kine-level xover which comes before the amps. So they are easier to drive but still require 4-5 channels per side. It would seem that there is a passive xover available -- but I have no more info.

Joe Cohen of Lotus Group USA will be showing the WVL London at the California Audio Show, Spetember 22-24.
I've asked him if he can share his experience here after the show.

We are now set up at the California Audio Show which opens tomorrow. The combination of Wolf Von Langa, SW1X and PranaWire is truly amazing. Try to make it if you can. This will be a singular demonstration.

Highlight of the show for me. Fast, transparent, dynamic, musical. Stunning synergy with SW1X.
