Do tell more...

Krell KRC-3 and FPB-200, Wilson WATT/Puppy 5 {could be 5.1 ... Buying unseen and unheard), Transparent Audio Ultra speaker cables. Owned from new by a medical professional in the central South African metropolis of Bloemfontein. He is now relocating to the coast and his new house cannot house these rarities (in SA context).

Initially I was after the Krell power amp only, but we made deal that avoided the kids being split up. The only part of the system I have no need for is a Wadia CD player.

I remember those. It is Indeed straight from the early 2000's! Those Wilsons WATTS have always been so cool looking.

Good for you! Must have cost a fortune, back in the day. Those where not cheap. Are there still Wilson dealers in SA?

this is Big Man audio!

Congratulations. Hope it turns out to be your end game and stays with you for life :)

(I think it might be Big Room audio too?)

@Poleepkwa Tweak Technologies lists Wilson on their web page - starting from half a million ZARs. They had a used W/P 8 for R240k not long ago.

@Thad E Ginathom yeah you may be right about big room audio. However I recall a Stereophile review at the time saying it is not that room sensitive ... but that was before room treatment got big. Doubtless it will require some from treatment to get the most out of it. Or parametric EQ ...

For shits and giggles, I converted the 90's list prices to 2023 USD's ... 50878 of them. Boy, am I glad end game hi-fi has strong depreciation!
