In 2013 he had XLF's. Assume he still does.

Glenn.......Owning a speaker brand and being up to speed on the technology and design elements is two different things. One can own, listen to, and appreciate a speaker's sound without a clue what it takes to make it happen. I am not saying Micky doesn't have a clue but my impression of his comments, responses, and questions during the tour left my thinking he was not at the same level of knowledge he typically is with turntables, tonearms, phono cartridges, and vinyl LP's. Just my take.

Actually Bob he has ALEXX, which are a better match for his smallish room.

Interesting, I hadn't heard that. Sounds like a good move if his room isn't huge.

Thanks .... consider me being updated. Considering he's a Wilson Audio fan, I agree with other comments in this thread though, he didn't appear to be very acquainted.

Best sir,

Bob

I think a better description might be distracted. Michael was in Provo to hear the WAMM and getting WAMM'ed will do that to you. Michael is a long time owner of multiple Wilson speakers and is knowledgeable about our processes and products.

The tour was meant to be informal. Were he doing a normal tour that he had decided well in advance to video, the Mikey I have known since his Tron days would have been more scripted.

Thanks Mr BP -- it was a great video, I'll give him and Wilson Audio kudos for sure.:thumbsup:

Bet your glad it's Friday.:yeeea:

Best Sir,

Bob
