My visit to Wilson Audio

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Sophie. If Debby sees this, maybe we can convince her to post us a picture of that beautiful German Shepherd!

Great post. Fun to see the process. Must have been very cool to see your own speakers!

Great Post !
Thanks a lot.
In the polishing room, you can see some bad postures of the workers : I 'm surprised to see them working on simple tables. The speakers should be on tables adjustable in height to allow the workers not to bend their back this way. Factories are always tough for the workers but everything should be done to protect their health.
I am not suggesting at all that Wilson does not care about the health of their employees. I'm sure they do and the employees are surely happy and well treated. But they may not know themselves the risks they take to their back / cervicals by working in this position.

Notice off to the side there are a few wood boxes...and there are a few guys in the back of the room using them to raise the work item up higher. The guy in the foreground is choosing not to use it. Maybe they have different size boxes for different size pieces they are working on and we don't see them in this pic. Not sure.

Also that big machine that looks like a furnace off to the right is an air purifier system to get the bulk of the dust out of the air. Of course they should be wearing respirators as well.

Wilson definitely cares about their workers.

Your color looks as great as I thought it would. Were there any other colors that you thought looked good?

I was surprised how nice some of their older speakers looked in a wood grain finish.

So, how long do you have to wait for them to reach you?

Marc.......Enjoyable walk through Wilson facilities. Thanks for all the photos. I know the anticipation level went through the roof when you got to see your Sashas's in the build process. Looking forward to you impressions once they are in your system.
