From John Giolas:

When presented with the opportunity to acquire the company that has been building the best-sounding capacitors for over three decades, Wilson Audio jumped at the chance. Reliable Capacitors™ not only custom manufactured caps that meet Wilson’s demanding requirements, but for many of the most respected manufacturers in high-end audio.

Since the acquisition, Wilson Audio has integrated capacitor manufacturing into its facility in Provo, Utah. Wilson’s engineers worked to improve upon Reliable Capacitor’s patented multiple section design, the technology which is responsible in part for producing the most musically accurate caps we’ve evaluated. Newly named AudioCapX™, these capacitors are produced on proprietary machines owned and operated by Wilson Audio. Wilson's latest movie also tells the fascinating story of how integrating cap manufacturing into its facility at Wilson Audio has profoundly affected how the Wilson Design Team approaches crossover design.

Great movie, thanks Tim!

It was nice to see the machines and the inedited view of the Wilson crossover being built, I also appreciated the panoramic perspective of the Wilson Audio room at Christmas. But I can´t avoid asking - what has happened to the other XLF?

Speakers are always designed as singles. If you look closely, there is no pair in the front of the room. Left to right Chronosonic XVX, XLF, and WAMM Master Chronosonic.
