For sure I would like do
not scope down the life of the person to strictly audio accomplishments but if
to look at the David Wilson loudspeakers accomplishments then it will not be an
exemplary audio marketing or “not product development” as it has hardly anything
to do with advancement of audio practice. To me the greatest 2 things the David
did in loudspeakers was the following, ironically it was applicable ONLY in his
flagship models (Grand Slamm and up), the smaller Wilson models are not
interesting in my view:
1)
Aphesis of
time alignment, no one care, understand or practice it unfortunately… This made
the biggest Wilsons to sound so much different than anything else.
2)
Ability to
eliminate dynamic compression with box loudspeakers. The largest Wilsons are
the only known to me acoustic systems that being properly driven does not lose
ground to horns in term of dynamic characteristics and freedom from compression.
I have no idea how he did and why no one can match it. It might be drivers, crossovers,
enclosure material or perhaps all of it combined but it is very unique to top
of the line Wilson products.
I wish that whoever will
hold the torch of the Wilson company will not lose that uniqueness.
