Ooh ah audio porn

 

[Down Under]

I really hate those curtains......

I assume those Transparent networks are matched/calibrated to both the VTL and D'Agostino amplifiers. This whole launch is so shrouded in mystery, I'm curious to know what these actually look like.

Who wants to bet it will be a video?

When Dave and Sheryl Wilson first saw the "New WAMM" installed in their music room:

 

[analog brother]

so, are they here yet?
do we have to wait any longer?

That's it as they promise to update their FB site for a while

 

[analog brother]

more teasing!

 

[Steve Williams]

more teasing!

apparently so which makes me wonder if Jack's prediction of the announce being a video might hold true

 

[darkmatter]

Just wonder if a pair will make it to UK shores, I play the Lotto in vain hope!!

Anyway here is an image from the website of part of the lower Bass module

Height: 82" without spikes / 208.28cm (7' tall with spikes)
Width:23"/58.42cm
Depth:35"/88.90cm

Lower Bass units 15" and 13" or 18" & 15" ??

From one of the pictures earlier in the thread there appears to be outriggers to support the array assembly, so maybe 15" & 13" are being used. Anyway always fun to speculate!

Soft dome tweeter or something SOTA?

 

[Ron Resnick]

Does anyone know why, or have a theory as to why, Wilson Audio, apparently, does not believe in the M-T-M driver configuration, which affords the opportunity to have large woofers at both the top and the bottom of the cabinet (e.g., Rockport Arrakis, Evolution Acoustics MM3, MM7, Von Schweikert Audio VR-11/Ultra 11)?

(I obviously know nothing about speaker design but that D'Appolito configuration just makes sense to me for state-of-the-art dynamic driver speakers.)

I thought I read somewhere a true M-T-M design uses the same size mid-range drivers. It seems Wilson current designs use two different sized mid's which cover slightly different ranges.

 

[andromedaaudio]

MTM stands for midrange unit - tweeter - midrange unit .
Wilson does use that but places the woofers underneath (until now )
The evolution acoustics MM3 is W-M-T-M-W configuration.

PS whether when one mid is handling a slightly different freq range is still a MTM ,... i dont know i guess so.
Joe dappolito MTM configuration is a MTM construction with a particular X over filtering

2 weeks till all the wraps are off?
talk about a slow burn!!!
quite refreshing in today's instant gratification digital world.

shane, you got 2 weeks to place your order.

James. If it has the soft dome tweeter, I afraid I am going to have to pass and keep my current Wilsons

 

[analog brother]

would love it if it turned out to be a plasma ion tweeter!
then you will need to buy.
just sell a few records...
