Could be very interesting. Here’s hoping that they don’t have a vicious impedance plot...

I’m ineterested. I have a small space so if they are not a terrible load it will be worth consideration.

The two way market is hyper saturated and any thing over the 5 k mark is tough sell . Wilson has a house sound but I will be curious to see what the price point is .. Small cab and a mid woofer and tweeter with knowledge used from trickle down tech make for a potential economical price point .. That being said are you willing to risk cheapening the brand name with a low entry product .. This is not a negative as I have two pairs of Wilson speakers and believe in them

will the crossover be in the stands like the duette?
don't think it will be under 10k. should be between 10 -13k would be my guess.
depends on the crossover location and the materials used in the cabinet and the baffle.

No danger of cheapening the brand if it is built like a tank and sounds great. I'm sure they are painted in the same luxury auto paint booths as the Chronosonics.

Also think about how many people want a Wilson pair but don't have $20K or how many existing Wilson owners there are (over a hundred thousand?) who might have a need for a desktop/office/bookshelf system...

The drivers are inexpensive relatively. (that's true for the tweeters and mids all the way into the WAMM) So there is no "tech" with them like special designed planars.

But Wilson has proprietary cabinet materials, and that is where their "tech" is at for these. Those costs are unknown to me so will it exceed $5k? Given the dealership style of business, them being a decent sized company, and the proprietary cabinets... Yes I expect it to be higher. Do I think it's a good way to go? Hell no. They need to get people into their door, so to speak. So I suspect it'll be a pointless product except for those whom have brand loyalty and $ to burn on extra mini systems. You can only make a standard "bookshelf" monitor so well, and the competition is HIGH for them.

Given the price of the Sabrina, I would expect these to be $8-13k.
