Just received a WOPL 700 II from Lee in a cabbage box!

Lash eh?? Pretty damn cool.....thanks....

Will Lash listeners no doubt, before those meters even get near max. It also does quiet very well too

Hell yeah, play on the letters! Figured it would definitely lash the listeners and keep those speakers right in line so yeah...Lash!

I very seldom listen at loud levels. When I listen at anything above probably 79-80dB it hurts my ears and I do not enjoy it. I have always liked the Idea of having way more power than needed/required for a set of speakers though. The E III's I am listening to right now with this amplifier are rated at 91dB sensitivity and 150 max watts per. The amplifier is unaware that they exist. The speakers preform marvelously!

As I age the loud listening sessions get shorter and less frequent. There is a whole world of sound to discover at low levels.

Edit. Im 47 and my hearing age is 52. 14khz tops.

I should mine tested...

You guys now have me wanting a PL700, which I absolutely don't need!

Correct. You need two.

Welcome to the WOPL club !!!!
You will hear things you never have before in the music you have been listening to for decades.
Enjoy !

Just like two monster energies on two hours sleep!

@VSAT88: That's a fine-looking system you've got assembled. You may spend much more time revisiting old records/CD, etc. you hadn't heard for awhile just to get acquainted with your new WOPL amp. There is a sweet spot for listening - not too loud, not too quiet - just right. That sounds like a famous fairy tale, but very appropiate.

Always - the generosity of members makes someone's life a little brighter.

@Elite-ist Nando! Thanks. Coming from you that is one hell of a compliment. Actually, that stuff mostly is just sitting there. Its in "The Office" so I am always swapping in and out of that rack. Of course that is easy to see by all the chipped wood. Right now I am not using the tube amp up top or the CJ pre. The CJ MV75 A1 that usually sits up top took a dive on me the other day so I swapped in the Jolida and never snatched the pre amp out. May hook it up to the WOPL and just see what it sounds like. I have always liked that Forte F 44 preamp/line stage whatever you call it. It sounds as nice as any pre I ever had. If anyone here can pick up one cheap I would definitely try it out. And yes, I have found the members of this site to be incredibly generous.

I just let Kevin take his CJ MV75 home after I had it since our last gig here. With the cooler weather, I’ll put my tube Amos back in service. The preamp already has tubes. And I came here to get a PL years ago but was a number off of winning that 400, darn.

Kevin has a lot of gear that Bob Carver had a hand in making so maybe I’ll hear some one day. Or get Thain to drag his ugly, beat up, 700II over to a gig one day. Not WOPL but refreshed to working properly. Kevin’s gear would be, too.
