Description

After using Krell Amps, Mark Levinson Amps, B&W Matrix 800 Loudspeakers, Avalon Eidolon Diamonds and several others i fell in love with the Wilson Sound when i heard Wilson Grand Slamm's with Audio Research Amps at my dealer.

I could not believe what i was hearing the sound actually sounded real. I purchased the Grand Slamm's on the spot but have since upgraded to Alexandria's.

Now upgraded to Audio Note Dac 5 Signature.

2012 upgraded to Gryphon Mephisto Pure Class A Mono's weighing 240lbs each and Audio Research Reference Anniversary Pre-Amp.

Hi Bigpond

Room dimensions are approx 8m x 6.9 x 2.4. Really a bit smaller as a bit of an alcove to the right of the listening chair. Hoping some targetted room treatments and a little eq will improve things

What are your dims?

Lp12 does not get a lot of use these days.

Cheers

Hi Lloyd

System is getting there. Using a bit of eq in bass to help some peaks. Will see what bass treatments are recommended.

Take your time on your front end. I am sure what you are looking for will turn up. It is also a buyers market used.

Hi Bigpond

Good to see another Aussie spending all his $$ on hifi and music. I think we have the same drug dealer In Sydney :-)
Btw, I saw your ref 600's in the shop last week. Did not realize it was you who Joe upsized to the magnificent Mephisto's. Those things are HUGE.

One thing I am really jealous of is ( besides the speakers and amps) is your room. You have a nice high roof. Mine is not really tall enough. Had a guy come over today for a complete set of measures. His comments were my room is somewhat problematic with some complex behaviors.

Enjoy
