That's what we did...underfloor trunking.Yes, several drills in the floor, like one more WBF Wilson Audio owner I envy on this aspect, as I hate seeing cables. Besides the cables were not Transparent Audio, other brands are also used by WAMM onwers.
Is this a good sounding setup Bill ..? Looks hodge podge to me , just saying ...!
I’ve no real knowledge about Wilson...I thought they used silk domes?
Of course it takes far greater skill and ingenuity to innovate on a tight budget....which is exactly why most firms don’t Try. Take cars....how many new innovations are first introduced on the budget models? None....because apart from anything else all that would do is to obsolete the superior models. Similarly, how many TV manufacturers introduce their latest screen technologies at the budget end of their business? Again none. Computers using the latest CPU chips? None. Instrument manufacturers? The same..... and the reason why is always the same. Its because its only the upper end of their markets that are prepared to play serious money to have the latest innovations.....the best sound, the safest or fastest cars with the latest gadgets, the brightest and most natural TV pictures, the fastest PCs, the most sensitive instruments. As the new technology trickles down into more cost effective forms it keeps the low end of the product offering competitive, as the development costs have already been recovered.
Ha. This is a very famous setup in Italy custom made and meticulously designed by Yamamura himself who spent considerable time on sight. I think even custom code was written for the crossovers etc.
Our very good colleague, Gian of WBF, can tell you all about it. There is a thread on here with all the details should you be interested.
Actually, its the opposite IMO, its much easier when targets , expectations and budgets are set vs wide open wallet sky is the limit type approach.
Getting improvements over already present tried and true top Tier products is a big task , its why the performance bar seems to have moved very little vs past top tier products from decades ago ..
Just saying ...!
Actually, rhodies generally do not have beards. They often have marking on their dorsal petal. It is irises that may have beards on their lower petals. So a ..".beard like an iris" is the better term.
Rhododendron Iris
Excellent point, and that has been my experience as well.
On a related note...
I have been involved in other industries and other hobbies and my observation is that in general audiophiles are unusually good people. My wife, who comes from a different background, has noticed the same thing. My current theory is, listening to music deeply makes it easier for a person to "hear" that inner voice which in one way or another invites us to do good. Sort of like lazy man's meditation. To put it another way: Music soothes the savage beast, and audiophiles have subjected themselves to a lot of music.
So if Magico and Wilson and such can help get more of this world's top movers and shakers listening deeply to music, such that it can begin to work its magic, well that just might not be a bad thing.
What is that tube behind the midrange or tweeter ? Is it some kind of tube loading? Like a Vivid speaker?
