Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5Hi ToddLike you I am a very big Wilson fan. I have owned many speakers over the years but in the past 12 years I have owned WP 5.1's, WP 6's, Maxx l's, X-1 Series lll Grand Slamm and finall... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5GuidoI have now had the updated Ref 3 in my room for over a month so it is well broken in.I have found "the" significant improvement to be in the bass which seems much more defined ... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Aero, Lamm, and RevelWhen it comes to cables, I have tried them all in my system. Hands down, the winner IMO for everything--interconnects, speaker cable and AC power cords is Nordost Valhalla. Forget about Shunyata an... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |

Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5GuidoTo sum up in a nut shell and to avoid flowery and prosaic paragraghs, what I have noticed with the upgrade on the Ref 3 is a better, tighter and more articulate bass and a smoother mor... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |

Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5System EditRecently Audio Reseach began a rolling "line change" on their Ref 3 preamp. Specifically they began adding 4 bypass caps as well as switching out the 6L6GC output tube for the 65... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5GDHow correct you are.When it comes to the Lamm ML 2.1 and bass I am learning that it is the quality and not the quantity of the bass. When I spoke to the people at Wilson Audio re ... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5KobimanI am surprised because Wilson speakers are not meant to be biamped. As best I know the only way would be to feed signal to the upper modules but after the bypass. The downside is tha... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |

Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5Hi TimoAs for SS, these amps will always sound good with Wilson speakers. I did use Krell 750 Mcx when I had my X-1's. These were 750 wpc. Then when I switched to X-2's I sold the Krell and... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2, Lamm, PDS MPS5GuidocoronaLet me say first that we all have different tastes just as we all hear differently. To that extent therefore I must confess that the sonic signature of the ARC Ref 3 is one that ... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
