Here is one you guys are going to want to watch!!

Master Painter

The automotive-like finish on Wilson Audio loudspeakers is the result of a painstaking, multi-step process, but, ultimately, the quality of the finished product is a function of the skill of the person in the paint booth. Bryan Schramm isn't content with good enough. He's constantly seeking ways to improve his methods and hence, the end product--a product he regards with a pride offset by the humility he displays in talking about himself.

Deb, fantastic. The craftsmanship and care taken to build not only a great sounding speaker but one that that looks stunning and brings pride of ownership every time you look at it is really appreciated by any Wilson owner. The quality of Wilson speakers are second to none!

New video posted on Wilson's YouTube page. I personally like this one because it is the history of Wilson through my mom's point of view!

Sleeping on Sonex

Sheryl Lee Wilson had never encountered the arcane world of high-end audio until she met young Dave Wilson in college and they started dating. Together, as a married couple, they made the fateful decision to transform Dave's hobby into a business. In this intimate reflection, Sheryl Lee Wilson recalls the romance, the challenges, the hardships and rewards of building Wilson Audio from a tiny garage enterprise into one of the most successful privately-owned audio companies in the world.

Deb.......Bryan's last words in the video tell the whole story, "The end result is a work of art."

Music Lovers Event recap

And ...

Gel Coater:

Gel Coating is one of the "in-between" processes in the completion of a Wilson Audio loudspeaker. It's completely invisible in the finished product, and yet it is critical to the durability and beauty of every loudspeaker we produce. Clint Odom, who is Wilson's "master Gel Coater" shows us the process, but, more importantly, talks about the meaning and satisfaction he derives from being part of a guild of craftspeople, each one dedicated to the part they play in the creation of the whole.

Thanks for this informative video.
A layer of (polished) gel coat between the bare enclosure material and the paint + clear coat layers, I now understand why the finish of any WILSON speaker is so perfect. ;-)
