The Return of the WAMM
 

“Dave is working on a new WAMM,” McGrath said, a grin breaking out on his face. The previous WAMM, produced in Wilson’s early days, was a strange-looking but highly effective creation that mixed cone woofers, midranges and tweeters with an electrostatic midrange/high frequency panel.

McGrath, who used to have a pair in the days when he was running his own retail store in Miami, was almost giddy with anticipation. Wilson apparently thinks he can better his current flagship, the Alexandria XLF, which sells for a heart-stopping $200,000.

The new WAMM might be out next year, although knowing Wilson every last detail will have to be triple-checked and tweaked before a pair is seen outside the factory.

The price? McGrath hasn’t heard a final number. “But it’ll be up from where the XLF is – way up.”

I wonder how it will differ from the XLF plus two Thors.

Wow. Well it sure is exciting, even though most of us will never buy one! I hope I'll hear one at RMAF in a few years anyway.

I have heard the WAMMs that had been tweaked by Peter in the same room as XLFs. The owner replaced them with the XLFs. Current technology passed the WAMMs by. I am not sure what driver combinations they would use on a updated version but getting them to be coherent May be difficult.

That's the fun of it for Dave Wilson. He needs the challenge. And there will folks that will buy them. There will be a waiting list.:yes:

I'm pretty sure at 600,000 dollars the list is short? :yes:

Those two companies are obviously very closely following each other.

The new WAMM was just a question of time. I'm sure it will be a magnificent speaker.

I heard they were standing in line.
