Default Wilson Audio Duettes

Aloha Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos ......Helloooo Wilson Audio Duettes

I promised Debby of Wilson Audio that I would post some pics of my recent arrivals here in the Islands. Thank you Debby for everything



Hey!...they forgot to pack the speakers in here



What the ?? .....the external crossovers don't match the color of my speakers. My dealer tried to pull a fast one on me

I know....I need a new rack, that is my number one priority now.....unless something side tracks me again





I didn't have any spades available, so we had to make due temporarily.
btw...there is a piece of plastic between the "+" and "-" speaker "Main In"



X-material..... even in the grill covers



Still breaking in my new babies...only have about 20+ hours in. To me they sounded a little bright and harsh in the early hours....... but are definitively improving as we speak. More to come later and of course more eye candy

Dan......you know that old saying...."A deal I couldn't refuse"

Plus the fact I haven't purchased a brand "NEW" pair of speakers (not used or demo's) in over 20 years and this was a my chance to pull the trigger.

Accessories



Two sets of speaker cables linking the Duettes to the external crossovers. One pair for "near wall" placement and another for "away from wall" and associated "resistors".

From the reviews I've read, the Duettes are superb speakers. Enjoy them!
