Hey Ivan,

If you want a Chalet in France, I guess it would be in the Alpes, Courchevel or Megeve are the 2 towns to consider. Extraordinary skiing places.

Very high prices, but wonderful places.

Jean-Marc.

Then I know the video that you are talking about! My brother, Daryl put together that video. The child "mishandling" the LP is my oldest brother, David Jr. It was intended to make people cringe! LOL I think it worked!

They put that video together to show how far Wilson has come. Now that you mention it, I should ask him to send it to me so I can post it to Wilson's YouTube Channel and Facebook (I am the moderator for all those sites, and also their Twitter )

That actually brings up a couple ideas....

#1 We are in the process of making new videos to post onto YouTube. What videos would you guys like to see? Factory Tours, evolution of the W/P, etc? Give me some ideas of what you guys want to see

#2 Any maybe I should start a new thread for this one. Wilson Audio is going to start posting up some of their customer set ups with their customers "Wilson Story". Anyone want their system/story on the Wilson site?!?

My best,
Deb

Deb - a factory tour would be interesting. Another thing worth making a 'tour' is Dave's room and its design details.

In any case - I have pics of both if you ever need them ;-)

Would the "child mishandling some vinyl" happen to be this?:

Which room do you speak of? His listening room at the house, at the office, his office? His office is one of the most "fun" offices I have seen to date.. all his "toys" he has on disply! All of them are fun though for Audio fans!

Thank you for the suggestions!

Deb

His listening room at the house. I had a pleasure to spend a few hours there back in 2008 listening to the Alexandrias, and those are one of the most memorable audio experiences.

I heard from your Dad that the room was copied by someone in Brasil, down to the minute details ... I only wish my dedicated listening room was this big.

BTW Deb - you could post Wilson set up procedure on youtube, with Dave and John setting up a speaker. That would be most useful for many Wilson owners, we could learn a lot directly from them.

My quess is, that such a tutorial would be popular not only among Wilson owners - every speaker can benefit from that. That would be a good marketing for Wilson too.

Heard the Maxx 3 about a year ago and have to say it is one of the best all time speakers I have heard.

I heard the Maxx3s a few months ago... Not sure I have a big enough room for them. Any idea on the size of room you should have for MAXX3s (estimate)?
