Brian.......Thanks. I wonder why 'cisco's crossover boxes are blue, and do not match the paint on the Duette speakers. That would not make me happy. Actually, they should be black to blend with his stands.

'cisco.......Once you decided to start shopping new speakers, what other brands did you compare the GM's to beside Wilson Duette's?

I believe, though am not certain, that the blue is a protective film which is peeled off by the end user. All the crossover boxes I have encountered with the Duettes match the speakers themselves. On Wilson's website, al the crossovers are the same color as the speakers themselves as well.

They are matched. They only look different because of the "frisk" or flim that is put over the paint on the crossovers to protect them. The frisk they use on the crossovers are blue Once you take that off everything matches

Dan....after a few years of hiatus away from audio I decided to get back into this hobby about 3 years ago. When I started looking for equipment....not much here on this Island at the time.....I heard some Dynaudio's, B&W's, and then the PMC GB1 i's. Pulled the trigger on the PMC's and then I heard the Duettes. The D's were way out of my price range at the time but I made incremental steps towards them. I would love to hear more brands but a road trip back to the Bay Area would have been necessary. These Duettes will have to be my final speakers (which is not a bad thing at all )...... unless my living arrangements of a larger place changes. Do I hear Sophia 3's?
