    Audiophiles in Austin, TX, Please Check In!

    Thank you, wow, I was just there a year ago. The old website is still up. When I was there still had a descent selection of audio gear and choices. One of the original employees was still there. I guess the other guy, was the owner and that is why he is not there any more.

    Magico M9

    Keep in mind we are talking about two uber speakers in comparison to each other. Heard by themselves compared to what most of us have at home would leave most of us speechless (if properly setup).

    Thank you for your reply.

    Magico M9

    You are right about the trade offs, the Wilsons have a narrower baffle so it should sound more open. The M9s may be a rock of Gibraltar vibration wise but that wider baffle will still effect soundstage no matter how beautiful the radii. Look forward to seeing the tech and design filter down...

    Thank you, I too have wondered if the gantry system on the Wilson would be a source of vibrations. One would think their meter that measures vibrations would register that.

    Chronosonic XVX.

    A little more details please. Was one darker sounding? Soundstage? Which is more expressive? There comes a point when every detail on the track has been introduced.

    So if the SIA-30 is Vitus's new top of the line Integrated, then what is this? https://vitusaudio.com/files/6422/upload/images/series/masterpiece/specs/MP-I201-2017%20v.1.0%20(1).pdf

    A nice video of the debut.

    It could be that the WAMM is fast approaching the end of its limited production run and so time for a new flagship to carry the torch.

    Interesting, McIntosh makes more in revenues than Wilson? You are right, it is very niche though I imagine the Asian market is probably the biggest for all the major high end players.

    Never mind, answered my own question about the exposed metal and if painted or not. In dark colors the contrast with the metal must be striking.

    Chronosonic XVX.

    Liking the exposed sides as a design feature. Will the exposed metal be painted or not? It looks painted on the white prototype in the last pic but not in the earlier one.

    Chronosonic XVX.

    So a new flagship speaker then, the sub section looks deeper than the XLF. Do not see how the XLF continues to exist between Alexx and this. Interesting metal brace color, the black metal is a nice contrast.

    Chronosonic XVX.

    Just speculating here, per Wilson, the WAMM is going to be production limited. Maybe Wilson saw a stronger niche market out for the WAMM than they thought. So create a new product line that is close to ( may sound better due to the break through in caps), and more room friendly (less imposing)...

    The new Magico M6, M Pro replacement

    Still looks top heavy, as if the stand may be too small. I am sure it will be alright, but there is a lot of energy from the back wave of the those woofers that want to go somewhere. Wasn't it Mr. Wolf that stated we make speakers and not furniture? Referring to the fact his speakers do not...
