Some people had doubts that we would ever see the new I actually have some mixed emotions about this. After waiting well over a year for these new WE 300Bs, I couldn't wait any longer and purchased a pair of Takatsuki 300Bs. Compared to other 300Bs I have heard in my system (JJ, and borrowed Genalex, EH and EML) the Takatsuki 300B is fantastic! Bass, dynamics and pretty much everything else. Compared to the JJs that I have been using long term, the Takatsuki 300B has made my system sound 50% better. Even if that is an exaggeration, a 25% improvement is pretty significant, wouldn't you say? Especially after some break-in (approx. 100 hours). I recently had an amp manufacturer over for a listening session. I wanted him to hear a particular piece on my system. After listening to it I asked him what he thought of the piece. He said something to the effect forget about the piece, the sound of your system is so much better than I remembered it. The only change was the fully broken in Takatsuki 300Bs. How well will the sound of the new WE 300B stack up? Given the very high bar set by the Takatuki 300B, I may never find out, at least in my system. According to WE, I was first in line for the new 300Bs. I have a day or two to decide if I should cancel my order, buy them as a collector's item (and keep them sealed) or rip open the box and do the Takatsuki shootout! Gerry P.S. My subject line was not to make light of COVID-19. Please take the warnings seriously and stay safe! |
