I just bought a new home and my living room (where my system will be) is smaller than previous home. I need to downsize my speakers to match the room and Wilson Yvette's are first on the list. Have not heard them yet, but hopefully I can find a pair to demo soon.

Form following function, particularly if one cares about time alignment in a driver-in-a-box speaker design. Arguably, Sabrina and Yvette are rather distant from the WATT-Puppy look.

By the by, you really need to get some new material, Mr. Youngman. :D

I trust you realize this was done long before (mid-seventies), certainly not to the perfection of Wilson, but done in a 'box'

As soon as they make a speaker that looks as good as it sounds ........

My Yvettes in Desert Silver are just drop dead gorgeous. After many months I still stop and stare with admiration while walking through the living room. They just pick up all the surrounding colors like chameleons as the sun moves by.:thumbsup:

Contrary to my position on the industrial design of components I am a bit less finicky about the design of speakers. As you can tell from a few of the speakers I have owned (Dahlquiest DQ-10's, B&W 802D's, Von Schweikert's, JM Labs (Focal) and MBL's all before by X2's) I am open to most any design that isn't too boxy.

The KEF 105 comes to mind as an example, but most any current Wilson is a considerably better speaker.

I find my Yvettes in Ipanema Brown very handsome and they aesthetically fit in very well with my listening area. Visitors quickly notice and comment favorably on their excellent workmanship and beautiful finish. And, that's before they get a chance to listen to them.

Yes, very nice color. :yes:

A lot of people are talking about how gorgeous their Yvettes are, but I don't see any pics! Let's see em'!

I know, right?
