Default Wilson "Reference" Center
As good as many considered the WIlson Watch II to be, I was "told" today that at CEDIA next week Wilson Audio Specialities will be unveiling their new "Reference Center Channel Speaker." Not sure about anything else, and was told by my source (a dealer) that I (and everyone else) would have to wait and see what it was. I have no idea what to expect, but wanted to pass this along to everyone.

I just got off the line with Wilson. They confirmed this is true, and they were snapping the brochure photos today!

Good to know in case I decide to stray from the pure 2 channel path.

Thanks!

Im excited because it will obviously be larger than the Watch II and I have no idea what it will be like / look like. Will it be large like a HTM1D from B&W? Will it set on the floor or on a stand? Will it be wide? WHat will its shape be? You never know with Wilson!!!

The new center is called the Polaris. This isn't any NEW news, as the name was released some years ago, but I have confirmed from Wilson themselves that this is the name of the New Speaker.
