Hi Nuforce
the crossover point can't be modified on this old Wilson unit, the only think you can change is the sub level.
You'll have to see the actual Wilson Activ XO for a stereo use whit adjustable crossover frequency and slope.
Hello Simon
Finally I've sold them in 2021 october to the French Wilson Distributor for is personal use.
And with the cash I've opened a hifi shop... an other adventure.
And finally I was able to recover the original modules from the previous owner to update my WAMM in series VII.
The sound is more refined and delicate in this VII version. In comparison VI version is a little steeper with less ambient and harmonics.
And definitely I do not use the original WAMM...
Hello Fabio
Finally my ESL haven't big damage so they're running fine.
If you are in Italy and need help about a WAMM you can ask to Valerio from Audio Antiquary, he is specialize in vintage audio gear repairing and has fully restored a WAMM VI 2 years ago...
Hi Alexandre
When you put 2 resistors in parallel you divide their value by 2, so whit two 1,6 ohms in parallel you've got the right 0,8 ohms value you should have, same think for the two 3,2 ohms to get a 1,6 ohms value.
Placing two resistor in parallel allows to double the admitted power...
And finally, in 1993 Dave make a big gift to this customer by offering him the WAMM VII upgrade. This one consist of 4 new M7 midrange / treble module and a small passive component strap to add on the ESL module to modify his filter.
I'm in negotiation to recover this upgrade set asap :cool:
Here is a review of a French magazin for this show :
And in 1990 Dave came again to this customer house to upgrade the speaker in the VI version :
An other French Article about this :
After the VI there was a VII, the change were :
- the tweeter (the same than WATT 3 on the WAMM VII instead of the WATT 2 tweeter in the WAMM VI).
- of course the filter change between the tweeter and the SEAS Midrange.
- internal and external cable for the 4 midrange/ treble modules.
- filter...
Many thanks for these information about the JBL driver, for the moment l prefer to try to keep the system in it's original definition as most as possible...
But if I can't find someone to repear the 18" Magnat or a spare unit to replace it, I certainly go to the 18" JBL. This is a legitimate use...
They are really in poor condition, one of the Seas midrange is damaged, a lot of distortion when you listen to normal or high level, so actually i can only listen at low level.
The 2 Magnat sub are broken, the coil are deformed.
There's many scratch & damage everywhere on the all boxes, the 4 M6...
Thanks
Wilson WATT Puppy V ;)
I'm using Holm Impulse program to mesure the speakers. But on the Wilson website there is the manual for the WAMM to set them up : https://wilsonaudio.com/media/328/manual-wamm.pdf
Just arrive yesterday, they have many problem that I need to fix, they're in poor condition but already sounding great :)
PS : sorry for the poor English, I'm French...
