Project "Wilson Theater" is a go! Thanks to my very understanding dealer, all Sonus Faber will be traded back in at full price I paid for them and I am getting a very nice deal on the Wilson's.

Sasha's, Mezzo, 2 pairs of "watch" surrounds.

Just have to pick the colors!

Amplification TBD! Will probably run with Bryston during break-in.

Well, do you want them to stand out, or blend in? The most obvious choices being Macadamia, Topaz, & Desert Silver. You could have them custom painted to match the walls & have the grills be parchment which would be close to your sound treatment panels. Did you ever put the Sophias in there...I know they were Macadamia. My gut says that I'd probably choose Desert Silver or Topaz. Would Black Kirsch work?

Not sure what color this is, but I really dig it. I think it would go with the room too.

Robert, no way I am painting them to match the walls! What if I change my mind and repaint the theater in a year or so???

My problem is that I like them in just about any color so I always have a hard time choosing...

Doug, I'm thinking that is Black Kirsch...could be Carmon Red, though...never seen that one in person.

Yep, they look great in that color. I will check and post it tomorrow morning.

I may be the only one here with this opinion but I think your making a big mistake. You have never kept a pair of Wilson speakers more than a few weeks before you traded them back. Your home theater looks and sounds exceptional the way it is and has kept you so pleased with the sound that you sold off your reference system and your Mcinosh MC2301's in your 2 channel room because of how good your performance is in your home theater. I believe you will not be happier in the long run. Put the Wilson's back in your 2 channel room
