Default Wilson Duettes

Had a little time today to assemble the Wilson stands and to a quick and dirty setup. The Duette's are huge step up from anything I had it that room before. The scale and detail are something to behold. Instruments and drum kits a locked into place, especially symbols. With my 3a Dulcet's and Harbeth's 7es3s symbols seemed to float all across the soundstage. With the Duette's they are clearly place. I still need to find tune placement, set speaker comes and crossover modules with blue tack, and install stand spikes which should solidify things a bit further.
