Local Stereonet Review -

I visited a person today, whom I had never met and heard his modest system which consisted of a Prototype 300B integrated amp (about 9 watts per channel), A modest Marantz CD Player and last but not least a pair of WHT PR-3 loudspeakers, which are made here in Sydney by a local. 

I took a friend with me and brought a whole bunch of CD's to try in the process. 

Well the sound just blew me and my mate away. It was incrediblly detailed, open and very, very musical. It had all the detail you would ever want and a top end that was smooth as silk. No harshness what so ever. Having said that trumpets sounded like trumpets with the brass and not some wooden instruments.

We sat there for hours listening to CD after CD and I could not get enough of these little bookshelf type speakers. The music just sucked me in whether I was playing Classical, Jazz, blues, etc..

With many of the CD's I could not pinpoint the speakers, the music was literally coming from behind the wall. Talk about sound stage. This was the first time in memory I can truely say I've been listening to Music and not Hi-Fi. Big words and claims I know, but I cannot help it, when the big one strikes.

Btw, I heard about a dozen top end systems including ones with Wilson Watt Puppies, Osborn Epitome, Thiel 3.6, Genesis 501, B&W 703, Usher, Nuforce Speakers, Reference 3A, etc... This is about the only system I remember where the presentation totally sucked me into the performance. There was one that came close about 2 years ago and he had a pair of Wilson Watt Puppies 7 and a component list that exceeded $100K, it had pin-point imaging, but don't recall it being this musical. Besides he had spent years tweaking the room to get the right imaging.

If you ever get the chance, do yourself the favour and audition these babies.

PR3
--- Monitor of the Year ---
"Fedeltà del Suono"(Italy)

"The transition from one movement to another is perfect in attack and release. One hears the fingers touch the keys of the piano of the first big crescendo then

move on to the simple percussion accompanist and its rhythmic dynamics including presenting strong micro-dynamics.
 

"Concerto for Violin by Telemann is presented with its ethereal environment to be remembered and harp Concerto is distinguished clearly by the nails striking the strings with great dynamics during the flow of the melody."

"Another instrument is the crystal clarity of the plat-drum, vibraphone - every stroke is sustained with rapid speed in both attack and decay at the same time without distortion."

"On Barb Jungr 'Just Like a Woman' (Linn Records), the PR3 demonstrates the correct tonal variations that Jungr used profusely in its tracks - its position in the soundstage is precisely well defined and focused."

"The ribbon tweeter does an excellent job drawing con'etteza with panache and the characteristic imprint of the singer. the sound flows and is open without excessive preponderance and the accompanying instruments are defined intelligently and the great bass sax is vibrant and full. the piano is tonally correct."

"Eric Clapton's "Live on Tour"is one of the few really well live recordings and the live reverbs are very well reconstructed. The Hammond organ whispers but maintains its dynamic nature and is delineated with awareness and decision. The drums remain the strong point of the WHT. The voices of both Clapton and the supporting chorus are very well detailed with clarity and give perfect placement of the microphones used."
