[quote user="Paul S"]I think it is fair to say that no big speakers are going to "work" up to their potential without some serious effort expended in setting them up. IMO, this is no small matter, and Wilson obviously agrees,&nbs...

Romy,no, I am not one of those who bash Wilson. I respect his work, his business and his products. I listened to some of his models a few times, but this here is about reviewers...I am a little bit frustrated. I am a customer who want to go ahead, wh...

I has been announced that Dave Wilson has dies on May 25.
From Jason Serinus‘ article:
https://www.stereophile.com/content/au-revoir-dave-wilson-1944%C2%962018
Discussing his
ultimate statement, he [David] said, "The placement of the dri...

This thread is a derivation of the thread: Wilsons, EMM, Ozawa, Saint-Saens and...[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]While in general I agree with Romy about Wilsons, I have once or twice heard them sound really, really good. On the other hand I have also he...

…how do not spread Ketchup to all food you eat.
The regular readers of my site know that I very seldom pay compliment to the audio reviewers. I do it because they are mostly unspeakably Morons and their writing/thinking is mostly primitive and brain...

Dear Romy,
I made a simple yet very effective modification to 7 which transformed its sound to a much higher level,
it has been done by placing viberation reduction devices between WATT and PUPPYs.
I can send you details if you think its interesti...

Actually is not mystery but juts economics. BTW, the large Wilsons are I believe are not juts ported but so called fourth order design. With a sealed enclosure of the identical size the Grand Slam / Alexandria would go in Stereophile category of spea...

maybe what is mentioned as being some myths is closer to what at least used to be pretty close to the actual truth?Wilson speakers are pricy, expensive, un-affordable, take your pick. So maybe some of the commentators about Wilsons never had one ...

[quote user="steverino"]I agree that the published curves don't look bizarre for a box speaker. [/quote] Hmmm, I would like to note that my reference to "given topology" did not imply the "box speaker". Even a multichannel box speaker might have opt...

Looking at the drivers, and the range of adjustments, it appears that Wilson have done some things that make more sense than usual, at least to me. The MTM drivers can easily be set for "time alignment", which should help to cope with Wilson's "noto...

Why not? Wilson for many years each 2-3 years updates own flagman. They had Grand Slamm’s number of revisions where they constantly change tweeters, other driver and resistors in crossovers, introducing new rounds of opportunities for the custome...

I bought TAS magazine yesterday, second time this year. It is year afar yeas the more boring and boring to read Robert Harley. All his massaging of Reality and try to put the industry’s problems and idiocy into a mask of rationale and cheap sophistic...

I stopped yesterday in Borders at lunch and looked through the June’s Stereophile. It had Wes Philips review of the Watt/Puppy 8. The writing was below any criticism - it was not review but rather the typical product release drumming. I do not ...

I first heard the WAMMs in LA, sometime around 1984-5, or so. They were multi-amped. I suppose my (SS) amps would drive the new WAMMs FR, since they will easily drive Mark M's giant electrostatic speakers to over 100 dB, measured at 5 m. They are ...

Frank Berryman posted an article at his site about his auditioning of Alexia Loudspeaker. http://www.ultrahighendreview.com/auditioning-the-new-wilson-audio-alexia-loudspeakerI do not how about you but after reading the article I feel that it said ve...

The May 2018 Stereophile helps to roll out Wilson's new, "smaller" Yvette speaker. Though I did not get much from the review I was interested to read that Wilson (finally) intends this "smaller" speaker to be qualitatively like its big speakers, and ...

It is pointless to talk about the advantages of high sensitivity in loudspeakers. Everyone understands it and still it is mostly a terra incognito area in audio. There are very few more or less properly performing high sensitivity loudspeakers or dri...

Hm, the example with Wilson is much more complicated then you think. Wilson are very much misunderstood and mis-presented products. From certain prospective they well worth their money. Still, in context of this thread: problem with Wilson is not Wil...

[quote user="Paul S"]Amir, what you say and the simple way you put it is indeed a very important consideration for speaker/amp matching, and it is something that one must actually hear and cultivate in the first place. Since there is no way to emperi...

It is sad to read about David Wilson's passing at 73 years of age. He should serve as a model for audio marketing, if not product development. One thing we never heard about was poor QC from Wilson, because this was not a problem for them, or they ...

Interesting. I wonder whether I actually did the Pussy- or Wilson positioning.I found 4 tiny hotspots around the whole room (for one specific vertical position). The boom areas were large (or perhaps there were many boom areas, close together?),...

I got my copy of TAS on Wednesday, literally counting down until the "Wilson Post" appeared here...According to Mr. Harley, the previous Alexandria sounds "slow and smeared". I wonder what that does for the punter who's check for a pair ha...

I finally got around to reading this issue. What suprised me even more than the horns were some of the comments in the interview / round table discussion they had with some dude from Wilson, one from Overture, and another guy. Big honchos...

Stitch, I hope you talk not about Wilsons but about the cretins who write the stupid stories about them. Wilsons do what they do and what they do is OK. Sure the Wilsons, as anything else have own problems but those problems are never get pointed out...
