Default Wilson Audio XS
Some of you know the quality of Wilson Audio. They made a while back a Sub called the XS. The Sub was massive, even bigger than their Thor's Hammer. About $20k, 700 pounds, dual 18" drivers.

I found a pic on Audiogon that shows you how massive the Wilson XS is.

Serge...
Do you see the XS working in your room????
Put those 501s to work man!

You know I am kidding.

The only way I can fit that thing in my room is if I replace my couch with it.

I would hate to be sitting on the couch in the photo when the cannon goes off.

Vladimir can be so cruel sometimes... Indeed the ML3 Reference is a dream from what I hear. I have a pair of M1.2 Reference right now driving a pair of Sophia 2s both brands are new to me and so far I am very impressed.

[QUOTE=oneobgyn;10279]My son has the M1.2 Reference. They are an amzing amp. BTW I was speaking to Vladimir yesterday about the ML3. He is quite a guy.

I am guessing your name is Stephen? The move from ARC 600 to ML2.1 with only 18w must have raised some doubts in your mind. Fascinating what can be accomplished with only 18w. Of course it helps the Alexandria is 95dB efficient.
