it seems hat you may just have to wait longer.ican only get the text.the pic is a htm 7.28 kb and im not savvy enough to pull it up
A few days in Tokyo would enable you to hear the Everest against the Isis, Alexandra, HR-7 and AG Trio - all in the same room at the same dealer. Then you could go downstairs and hear the k2-9800 against Marten Coltrane, Dynaudio Evidence Master, Wilson Max and others.And IF you lived in Tokyo, you would be able to buy them too!
After a day or so you would have heard all of the best speakers in the world and enjoyed some fine sushi and malt whiskey. Another day to take in the local culture and stock up on music bargains, then a flight home culturally enlightened and sure in the knowledge that you have bought the best you could with your money.
And no doubt saved some at the same time

I have a perfect set of these just sitting on the shelf in the bedroom that used to serve surround duties.
I never realized that they were the famed and expensive Wilsons. I wonder why some store employee put an Infinity badge on them?Was probably trying to get himself a discount until I beat him to the purchase.
I know, maybe I just need to crank my Crown PSA-2XH through them to get that Wilson sound!
paid $5 for my pair, they were overpriced.
(Oh wait...thats them in the pic..)

From the Wilson site y'all might want to digest this and then have a stiff drink!!
The main criticism of Wilson Audio products is the "It's just an MDF box" argument. Wilson speakers are made from three different materials, and MDF is not one of them. M material looks like MDF, but when you run your hand over it, you'll quickly know it's not. M material is harder, more dense and less resonant than MDF. It also costs eight times what MDF does. The black X material was first used in the Grand SLAMM and costs 16 times what MDF does. It's used in the front baffles and bottom plates of various models as well as wherever two surfaces meet, like with the WATT sitting on top of the Puppy. X material requires no threaded inserts when drivers or spikes are affixed to it because it's harder than steel -- harder to mill too. Finally, WATT material is white and more like ceramic than any kind of wood. It actually cracks when stressed beyond its very high strength. Wilson Audio uses it for the WATT as well as in the head piece of the X-1 Grand SLAMM.
" more like ceramic than any kind of wood " not even good quality BS what the hell does that mean.
Those look good, but i would still take a new mercedes and/or a very comfortable retirement over them.
Canada does have a good public school system i hear. your kids will be fine, just have them run an extra paper route now. I hear the weather is nice up there in february.
looks like good cabinet work from here.i bet the parts can be sourced without too much pain and if they sound as good as they look.............

speaking of infinity does anyone remember the line source from about the late 70's.the local dealer had some but i never met anyone that owned em.hijack alert,so maybe i'll start a thread for big expensive speaker designs that never really caught on..........ill start........fulton j
Do you mean the Infinity IRS?

that would be the one.did you ever hear them. i was not among the chosen who were allowed into the high end room then.what were your impressions.i do know that they were power hungry monsters but they sure looked impressive.
