Pettyfeversk,
Congrats on your new amps. I am sure that you would not have bought them unless they sounded great in your system.
Some years ago, I was auditioning a pair of Harbeth 40 Monitor speakers being driven by Rowland 201 amps. My mind had already been preconditioned to have negative feelings about the sound quality of class D amps, but when the music began, I was stunned. Listened to a lot of different music for about 11/2 hours, and I was completely surprised by the great sound. I am sure that the 501s are that much better.

Pettfeversk,
I actually meant that they looked wider than the original Woodmeres.

Pettyfeversk,
They are certainly beautiful to look at. They seem to be wider than the previous version, is that the case?

I am anxious to see what they look like as compared to the old ones, or the Decade series.

That solves the mystery, Thanks.

Pettyfeversk,
Why are you considering the Woodmeres as an upgrade when they are discontinued, and the Decades represent Tyler's latest thinking?

I understand what you are saying, especially as it relates to rock performed live. You would be a good candidate for exploring horn speakers, if you haven't already. They have that bold dynamic headroom.
