[quote user="Knightcrawler"]The 1808 in a vented box produces some of the best bass I've ever heard. I know some have a beef with vented enclosures but when designed right the sound can be brilliant. I've heard plenty of sealed, vented, bandpass and ...

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...

.. and I have no problem with “few” of the metal domes implementations. I wonder if David Wilson “preference” for metal domes derives from the fact the he needs an aggressive upper range to get equilibrium to the noise of Wilson ports coming from Wi...

[quote user="stuck.wilson"] I just started using RTA as a method of evaluating my results with my own 2 way speaker system, and I'm finding that I'm ending up liking the sound of my system a GREAT DEAL MORE without the absurd notion that 20-20k is wh...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I just ran the calculations again and came up with a figure of 13.8 cu ft (for a QTC favoring transient response, not lowest F3). Then I measured the boxes and they do in fact come out to just under 14 cu ft, once wall thi...

[quote user="Paul
S"]Yes, insane amounts of money are wasted on "exotic" cabinet
materials and construction methods, for instance. And the misguided idea
of keeping it one narrow stack per channel does, literally, compromise the
sound, as does t...

Mr. Richard Hardesty has published recently on his site an article on the similar subject.

I would in a way agree with his findings and observations. However, I would not agree that the ne...

[quote user="el`Ol"]…. there is some characteristic shining or radiance… [/quote] Yes and no. Radiance probably is a very good word to describe Wilsons. (Search the site for Focal Utopia TN51) The key in here is not letting the artificial radiance to...

This is a part of HigherFi site. They are in a very specific business and they do what they do fine. The site is pretty much enumeration of everything in audio with price tags. They completely silent and with no expertise of any kind offered to buye...

David Wilson says about the WAMM:
Atkinson: What range does the electrostatic unit cover?
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....

I'll refrain from commenting on the performance of the Alexandria; I've heard it once and am willing to keep an open mind on the grounds that the installation may not have been correctly set up; it was at an audio show paired with Audio Research gear...

I think correct positioning the watt puppy and maxx model in room is not easy and each time i listened to them i sensed a bloated sound, I guessed bloated sound refer to acoustics. i know these model drivers are not fast but i guessed in a good room ...

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 ...

I has been announced that Dave Wilson has dies on May 25.
From Jason Serinus‘ article:

Discussing his
ultimate statement, he [David] said, "The placement of the dri...

..... he he :-)Seriously, I listened some months ago to the LL1 sig. /ML3/Alexandria combination. A perfect example for an expensive mismatch. These Wilson Speakers are a grave for those amps, midrange is ok, but no high frequency area and absolutely...

Well, I do not know what it would mean. Regardless his “constitutional status” Row’s article is much more informative and much more educational for people who have interest in the MAXXes then the brainless saliva dropping that many industry cheerlead...

[quote user="morricab"] Used Wilson X1 Grand SLAMM. Not the best speaker but dynamic like a horn and less colored than most horns. Use with good tube amps and it makes a superb sound (with 95db/watt sensitivity and an easy load 30 watts is probably s...

Dave Wilson is a very clever guy who runs the quintessential Robb Report venture. And unlike the usual RR bottle rocket Morons, Dave has really endured. I think this is at least partly because he takes a 2-pronged approach to product and market analy...

The Multifaceted Random Dipoles – what the hell is it?
Well, this is what Eugenie’s uses, perhaps without realizing it. I do not know how Eugenie came to it. I presume that he was buying over the years the drivers on eBay and now he decided in...
