The Mighty Thor
The Thors Hammer was installed on tuesday along with the Wilson Controller and MC601 mono amp. I will have a lot to say soon but I'm too busy listening right now. Things went without a hitch. Stupendous, unblelievable, surprising, more than expected, amazing, never heard anything close either at a dealer or at home, and unexplainable are some of the adjectives. The Hammer and the Maxx3's are synergistic in the extreme. The Wilson Controller is the analog piece everyone is looking for. Now you can have your cake and eat it too. It is an utterly transparent crossover that delivers the audio goods in spades. The MC601 is a fantastic little amp. My sound has improved by 100% bass, midrange, and treble. You haven't lived until you've heard 16 cycles. If possible try it beore you die. Pics will be up tomorrow

I have played all of professor Johnson's low frequency devils through the Thor at crazy levels. Enough to destroy my room. Here's the metaphor: Imagine the Thunder God sitting in his massive chair and professor Johnson standing before him on the Rainbow Bridge of Asgard. Thor is not even sweating but one can see little beads of fine sweat pop out on PJ's forehead. After each low frequency blast Thor laughs a belly laugh and slaps his knees. He says "Is that all you got?" Finally, after the last one is played Thor with a stern look on his face and with his mighty hammer knocks PJ off the Rainbow Bridge never to be seen again and that is the end of all the low frequency material I had collected over the years that no sub would play. The Maxes alone did a fantastic job on them, by giving a sample of what was there and not distorting but at the same time I knew more was there. The Thor expresses every last iota.
