    Thanks Metaphacts. I remember my first tele call with you years ago regarding a watch crossover/thor/ krell 707 conflict and your saying wilson wants every wilson speaker owner to be treated as a part of the family... regardless of when or where it was purchased.

    "High End Dealers and You" - The "Hidden Rules" (At least for some)

    Unfortunately in my market place it's my opinion that the bulk of the really high end stuff sells itself because it's the only real high end game in town.

    Who should one contact. I wrote to Jerron. He told me no specific micro adjustments for alexandrias. I recognize that i have only a fraction of the experience of a top installer but as a technical guy myself i suspect that the adjustment of all alexandrias would be similar by amplifier...

    Wilson Audio Maintenance

    After reading these posts are you giving any thought to changing your resistors… not to another value or manufacturer but with the thought that the existing resistors may be out of spec from daily Use?

    Wilson Audio Maintenance

    Update. Based on my experience changing the tweeter and midrange resistors last week i went ahead and ordered the phase and woofer resisters as well. They came yesterday. I havent done a large amount of research to determine exactly what these resisters are supposed to do but i am noticing...
