    Your room looks amazing. I had my Wilson W/P installed this past summer by my dealer as well. They did an amazing job and it took a few hours. I will say that as the speakers broke in, I had to tweak the speaker location to keep the soundstage locked in. The speakers are incredible. As you mentioned about wanting to upgrade amps and such, you’ll be amazed how much change you will hear through the W/P. They are so revealing. I am using D’Agostino amp and BAT tube preamp. It’s absolutely stunning.

      WOW! I have heard the W/P on D'Agostino amp and it was turly amazing! And yes, I have done the same in tweeking my placement slightly as they have changed since installation. So far I am loving the sound of these speakers. Agree with you Absolutely Stunning! Thank You!

      Thank you my friend, Like you I was first introduced to Wilson Speakers back in the late 80's and into the 90's mostly at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, I actually shook David Wilson's hand one year at the show. I have coveted these speakers for a very long time but they have always been way out of reach. Only in my retirement years has it been possible to consider them. Would have loved to see Fourplay, I think I have nearly every cd they released. Great music for sure. Thank you again.

      @@vinylrules4838 I heard them for an hour at my local dealer with Audio Research and Luxman amps. I am not making assumptions. Even the dealer commented the bass was too strong. Looks are subjective, but personally, I think they are ugly like all Wilson speakers, but they are well constructed.

      @TascamTascam might have been the room. When I listened, the speakers had a short wall behind them. Somewhere above about 4' was open. That allowed the low frequencies somewhere to go without totally being reinforced by the room.

    Strangely enough my psaudio FR30 might leave my space soon if psaudio doesn´t get something very bad fixed.
    I was so happy with them for almost 2 years and after listening to other brands I immediately found out that my FR30 have a serious problem with the lower-mids to bass instruments. There is a kind of gap where the bass should step in, but it doesn´t, only when it goes really deep to the lowest lows , and having bigtime volume they getting alive, or with artificial bass, they can do that too but that gap and missing freq. area I need to get fixed or the FR30 are leaving soon

      I am currently using an older Classe CA 150 power amp with a Classe CP 50 preamp. They actually sound very good with the new speakers and I am suprised how they drive them. It has 150 w/8 ohms and 300 w/4 ohms. As far as an upgrade, I had been thinking about Mcintosh (not sure what to think about them now that Bose has picked them up) Moon by SimAudio, possibly Boulder and AR but they are really expensive so not really sure what to do at this point. I am thinking i will get the speakers broke in and used to them and then start figuring out what to do about amp and preamp. Thank you so much!

      The room is 22' long and 13' wide. And they did discuss the size of the room and really only recommended maybe to consider adding ceiling absorbtion. They didn't think anything in the back of the room would be needed since I have my record and cd racks in the back and that they do some deflection already. I do have two french doors that I asked if I should treat and they said listen to it for a while and get used to the sound and then we can temporarly place some absorbtion on the doors and see if it is better or worse. I think if I do any more at this point it would be on the ceiling. Thank you David.
