Customer Install: ARC Tube Power & Wilson Dream Speakers

Customer Install: ARC Tube Power & Wilson Dream Speakers

Apr 21, 2023

Interested in exploring vacuum tube sound for the first time, our client enlisted Paragon to beef up his existing 2-channel digital home audio system. Together with our 2-channel Manager Matt Chapman, they decided to go with the powerhouse combo of Audio Research's REF6SE & REF160M MKII plus the aspiration-meeting Wilson Audio Chronosonic XVX in a beautiful custom finish (it looks even more incredible in person - you can see flecks of gold in the light!).
These additions are only the first steps in this evolving system, which will soon include a turntable/phono setup among other exciting upgrades. But both the client and Matt are already extremely pleased with the level of depth these Wilson & Audio Research units have added to high-resolution digital music. Though Tube vs. Solid State is highly subjective and up to personal taste at the end of the day, we find that many people are surprised by how much they enjoy that classic, warm tube sound.

Stay tuned - we'll keep you posted when the next round of system updates are complete!
