Wilson: It operates above 5kHz. And it operates at a very low level. It functions primarily to provide part of the leading edge of high-frequency transients.
Seems to be the opposite of what you do, main system for tonality and injection for dynamic "edge".

Yes, el`Ol, you are right - David Wilson uses in his WAMM injection principles, as you said with opposite objective. I do not know how execlsy it all works in his speakers as I never heard the WAMMs and never had a chance to dissect it’s principles. Generally WAMM uses electrostatic 3-directobal panel, how it is connected and how it calibrated I do not know. I do know that having large panel did help to David to accomplish what he intended as the larger traducing panel helped him to deal with lobbing.
If David says that the electrostatic set very low level and it’s function to care leading edge of high-frequency transients then it is what it is. Still it should be heard HOW it done, instead of juts knowing WHAT was done. Conceptually I do understand what David was trying to do with it – to inject that front-wave’s uncertainty that is so liked by Quad people. It might be very useful in his loudspeakers. Do not forget the WAMM was over 90dB sensitive child of end of 80s, the time where large SS HF-brutal amps of Marl Levisohn type were dominating. I know what David Wilson was fighting with using his way of injection.
The Macondo’s Injection is not just look at the things from opposite side but looks at the things slightly differently all together. It does not moderate attacking waveform (at least intentionally) but it rather injects wide-spectra artificial colors and artificial texture. In my current seating (using APS PurePower unit) I set my Injection Channel at minis 15dB.
