My visit to Wilson Audio

Marc,

Great post! Thanks for sharing your visit to the factory and a huge congrats on the gorgeous new Wilson's!

Marc, congrats on the Sasha's and thanks for sharing the pics. How cool that you got to visit the factory when they were being built? As a previous owner (of 2 separate pairs of Sasha's,) I can tell you without hesitation that you are in for a sonic treat!

Great pic!!! She's so cute. I won't put you on the spot by asking how you got that pic, but is her name Sophia or Sophie? I swear they called her Sophie multiple times. Sophia makes more sense..maybe Sophie is her nickname.

Thanks for posting that.

Great thread, great pictures. Very interesting evolution shown in the speakers.
One looked like a smaller pre-colonial MAXX/Alexandria, very cool.

I'm also curious as to why they don't have the wood veneers option. Having seen one,
albeit an older model, makes them look more 'traditional'. I certainly liked the look.

Are you talking about the WITT? That thing is awesome looking! Here's a better pic of it, I accidentally uploaded a fuzzy pic of it yesterday.

Picture is from Wilson's Facebook page.

Her name is Sophia, like the speaker.

Great post. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your trip and got to see your actual speakers in the flesh

I also like the picture of the array of Bryston's, good to see the Wilson team know a good amp when they hear it From the single LED's and size they look like 7B's.

That is their burn-in station, and they told me they chose Bryston because it's a "workhorse". I suppose that means they appreciate it's reliability. In their listening room they had a hodgepodge of equipment by dcs, VTL, and LAMM. Probably others, but I was in a hurry to get to my plane at that point unfortunately. Their listening room was set up for moving equipment in and out. I get the feeling that they use it for lots of combinations of their speakers and electronics.
