Wilson Production photos
 

Here you go Deb, you're own Production aka Nursery thread. ;)

Ooo this will be fun! Thank you Ivan! :D

Ok, we need some pics to get this thread going! :D

I'll go to the liberty of putting Debby's shot from today, here. I wish I could read one of those sticky notes:

I spy a Carmon Red Sasha Lower!!!! I wonder who the lucky guy is? :scratch2:

Ooo Ooo I know I know!! :)

Ok you guys need to tell me how to post up the photos so they are large instead of thumbnails. I will be needing to post up several tomorrow :thumbsup:

May I suggest (for those of you that have received photos of their system being built at Wilson Audio from Daryl or I) to post your production pictures too! :)

Debby,

If you don't have a Flickr or Photobucket account to use, then you can use the picture capabilities, right here, on AA. Here is the sequence:

Open User CP in new window (separate window makes it easier to toggle back & forth for inserting pictures in your reply)
Click "Pictures & Albums" on left side
Click "Add Album"
Create Album Title, Select Public, Click Submit
Click "Click here to upload pictures!"
Browse your files & select images
Click "Upload Pictures"
Click "Save Changes"
Click on an image, copy BB code, past directly into your reply

Hope that helps & I hope I got all the steps right! :D

That was very helpful, Robert! Thank you so much! I will make sure to post up some photos as soon as I get the "thumbs up" to do so :thumbsup:

Serge's Sasha's are being built today :music: Daryl told me he would try to get back there and take the last few photos for us :D

Serge Production Photos!!
 

After much anticipation - I got the green light to post up production photos (which is great on 2 levels - Serge's order is ON THE WAY, and we all get to enjoy the photos!)

Debby, thank you so much for the wonderful pics!!! :thumbsup: This is really cool! :banana: Besides being able to get a glimpse into what goes on at the Wilson factory and how much effort and pride your team puts into your wonderful speakers, the pics will serve as an excellent visual memorabilia of my speakers being born at the Wilson factory. :thumbsup:

It is so nice when a manufacturer goes an extra step above and beyond what is considered the norm in the industry, a human touch, a warm gesture of openness and friendliness and being "approachable".

I am very much looking to the delivery and installation day, a day that is very exciting for me and the countless hours my new "Wilson Theater" will provide!

Thank you again Debby! :thumbsup:

Too cool. :)

Debby, that is great! :thumbsup:

What a treat Serge to see pictures of your speakers being built! Thanks to Debby for sharing those! :thumbsup:

Very cool for you, Serge! :thumbsup: I wonder if you'll have them by the weekend???

Too bad Debby was in Mexico when my Sophias were being born. :sigh:

So Sorry!!! :tears:

A girl needs her Mexico time (was first vacation in YEARS with no kids - much needed time away) and it got me out of the bitter cold (high in Feb is usually in the teens - very cold!!).

But I did send you photos of what they would look like since you have the exact combo of color/hardware color as my father's Sophia 3's in his office! :D

You are so very welcome, Serge! Now you owe ME some photos!! :thumbsup:

Yes, it was cool to learn that my speakers were the same combo as your dad's, and I appreciated those pics! :thumbsup: I'll be sure to check your vacation schedule before I order any future Wilsons. :D

Without proper pics, how do you know you are their Dad. :p

What a great idea for a thread. :thumbsup: Now we need another AAer to order some Wilson Speakers. :yes:

Because I saw my dad's last week :P (His office has to be the best office ever!)

Hard to believe much work gets done in there, with all those cool toys. :D

You are in the clear for awhile now (minus CES) :D

By the way - Wilson Owners - if you are attending CES LISTEN UP!: I have put together a Wilson Owner's event the first day of CES - Jan 10th at 5PM in the Mirage. We will be in 2 of the Penthouse suites. We will have on static display the new XLF and another goodie for you :thumbsup:

RSVP soon to researve your spot. With the suites being small, there will not be a lot of room - so I am limiting the number of guests. Hurry and sign up before all the spot are filled up (they are going fast!)

Please send me an email to debby@wilsonaudio.com to be added to the list!

Oh, I know! I have spent many, many hours in that office in: meetings, chit chatting with my dad, etc. Many fond memories! My mom's office is connected to it, too. Fun set-up! :thumbsup:

Beautiful color Serge :drool: .......and thanks Debbie for posting these pics. :thumbsup:

Many many endless hours of singing to go from those top hats.:music:

I love the color Serge ! It will look great in my.....:scratch2: I mean your theater room :D

Agreed!.....This is a great thread to have :thumbsup:......Darn!.....Makes me want to order my Sashas all over again just so I can see them being 'born' all over again - it now almost feels like I missed out on the birth of my child! :tears:......Serge, you are one lucky dude! :yes:

Email me next time around ;)

Must ..... resist ..... Sasha's. :D

So true. :yes:

Hey Debbie!

Just curious but what 3 colors combos come through the factory that you really like? Especially if they are colors that one would not normally consider... :yes:

What colors did you pick for your own speakers, grills, and hardware?

Josh

Debby, will it be possible to get pictures of my Sashas being built?

Josh, you didn't ask me but if you have a smart phone, especially an i5, try the Wilson ap. It does a great job portraying colors you can hold up in your room for comparison. Wish I had that at the time we ordered. I have Dark Titanium with extra flake, and it's great, but I may have been able to get my wife to consider the black and a red shade that have a bit of red or green in them. I have matching grills and silver hardware.

That new ap has so much usable information I told Ms. D. Wilson that she should tell folks to "cut the crap and get the ap." She is far to nice to say that to anyone however.

Bob

Haha. Nice! i'll definitely check out the app.

I'd probably have to admit that the Carmon Red with grey or black grills and silver hardware would be near the top of my list, but I'm really more curious what someone thinks who sees an infinite number of combos. What are the ones that you would have never thought would have looked amazing in a particular color? Particularly, if it is a color, or a custom color. Extra metallic flake would be awesome.

I could fly my Trojan colors with some heavy gold flake mixed into the Carmon red... ;p

I have had this pet peeve the last few years with almost every car being: black, gray, silver, sand, and white. Just soooo boring.

This color combo make me "tingly"... Could we get some gold ano hardware in the house?!

How about Conda Green?? :lmao: I'm ready to rock the 70s with avocado green, or harvest gold. Remember how many more colors there were on the older cars... :/

Pretty Porsche. And the vintage Benz in white behind as well... that was the best color for that car. But, as with cars, if you go too far out on a color limb, it will have a significant effect on your resale value.

Enjoy the trip.

Not sure about the white... I had a Saharagelb Typ 115 240D like this:

I don't normally consider resale value since I usually buy things with the intent to depreciate them to zero. But you are right though. :yes:

Sweet. As a former benz-o-phle, owned just about everything they sold... but my first was a 1969 220d. Maroon. Drove it 120,000 miles and sold it for more than i paid for it. Thanks to the gas crisis.
