Are you certain this is correct? When I looked it up, this is what I found:

fisk
/fɪsk/
verb
1.
(slang) to refute or criticize (a journalistic article or blog) point by point.

Yes Sir,

It's not in Meriam Webster


I think and I'm reaching here -- by the guy (named "Fisk") who designed the protective coating.

Thanks VT...but using a verb as a noun...it just doesn’t sound like something Wilson Audio would do.

Aka Helicopter Tape;

“As with many other consumer products, paint protection films were first developed and used by the military. During the Vietnam War, helicopter rotor blades and other sensitive parts of military transports were often damaged by flying shrapnel and debris. In order to help protect these moving parts the US military asked 3M to come up with a solution that was both inconspicuous and low-weight.

The advantage of replaceable film over the replacement and repair of damaged rotor blades was immediately clear and its adoption was uncharacteristically quick for the US military. As a result, there are still people in the industry who refer to PPF as "helicopter tape" although this term is becoming less and less common as automotive applications have taken precedence.“

PPF: Paint Protection Film

In the States, Wilson speakers purchased from authorized dealers receive dealer or Wilson setup as part of the purchase. This can make a significant difference in sonic results. Using the measurements and specifications found in the manual is a great starting point but nothing beats the trained ear of some one who has done the setup previously and knows the capabilities of the speaker and its potential in your room.

Congratulations on the Alexx and thanks for all the pictures. It looks like you take great care with your system. Smart move with the D' Agostino electronics.

I believe Wilson calls the protective film “frisk.”

You're absolutely correct -- my bad -- I was 80% correct.......... what's an 'r' anyways.

Apparently, we are having trouble with the letter "r" in this thread -- warped = wrapped & fisk = frisk.

Yes, Bob, I like them in Silver and I think this color will fit the rest of my rack equipment more then in Black or Red. But Black is also looking good.
