Yes, they look like the Zitron Anaconda's. And my old Shunyata power cables also had a gold label with a similar hand signature!

Interesting that the owner is using Bybee speaker bullets on the Ultimate. I have had mine in my system for a month now.
15"
maybe they are trying to break the glass wall
digital source: Conbrio server+ Pacific microsonics model 2 most probably
Interesting that most who have tried the Bybee's in this experiment have concluded treble softening and alike.
Do the big Wilson's really need help like this?

No, unless you're running an all solid state front end and amps on the focal tweeter models.
$600K. Perhaps there are better values out there ? Never mind you need 5 pairs of monoblocks
In Europe with our vat taxes it will be 600 k euro. Only I am shocked ?
I find it inappropriate , hifi gear cannot cost that much. It is only for pleasant music reproduction.

All these photos show the Ultimate with First Watt amplifiers. If Magico intends to demonstrate their flagship with these relatively inexpensive , no bragging rights products, it shows IMO an enormous level of maturity as a company ,as well as a deep understanding of how to get the best results from very high efficiency transducers.

Yes, you don't need an expensive set of amps for the Ultimate to sound well. On 115-120dB efficient speakers, you need an amp which is virtually silent, with a low gain. 99% of the amp of the market are way too noisy (we tried, don't ask me to give names...)... the First Watt amp used in Munich have an unitary gain and are among the most silent amps on the market (with the Siltech P1, which is also unitary gain, and a few other custom designs I am still investigating).
Maybe after laying out $600k, that's all they can afford!!
imagine 5 sets of Pass XS mono's...20 total chassis'
Hi Shane,
Are you saying you feel that other Wilson owners like what Bybee does to their Wilsons? Curious since I have heard good things about Bybee products. What specifically are you referring to...their speaker bullets I presume?
Hi Lloyd I am not referring to any Wilson owners evidence , just a question to Rockitman who is using them
If the bybees have a universal softening of treble, from user tests in the SNA link, I can't see how they improve the system unless it is bright.
Lloyd, I believe the Sablon GGC power cords use Bybee modules. Mark uses them, and there is a definite difference in SQ wrt to the standard GC cords, to my mind, superior.
Are you saying Magico will use the F4 First Watt in the Ultimates? Nelson Pass should be proud of it!
It also looks like the smaller box could be the First Watt B4 crossover. It will be nice when the complete loyout of the electronics is explained in the press. I expected the DEQX and some Solution amplifiers but this is completely new stuff. Just one more day.
