The two sound very different . With most Wilson speakers it will be more obvious becsuse the mid is wired out of phase with the bass driver .... Out of phase will cause loss of bass and accentuated treble in this speaker which is is easily heard..

What is concerning regarding the review is the reviewer does not actually know what product he has . He writes about the se model but clearly shows the standard version he then goes on to ' correct ' phase of the sub -- and leave the speakers out of phase ..... He does not know what he is doing but knows something is not right . I have never heard any tubed cj product ever have the traits he was referring to . He definitely got it badly wrong .

All very true. I have been using cj pre amps for a long time and with my previous Sonus Fabers it was also very easy to hear if wired incorrectly.

Plurn, reverse the positive and negative connection on your speaker wire going into the speaker terminals and play some of the same music. Will take you less than one minute. You will easily hear something is wrong.
