1:21amIn my humble opinion, a little old speaker manufacturer in my hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee, has a very nice speaker out now. The Watkins Stereo Generation 4 is quite amazing. William "Bill" Watkins, Sr., and Bill, Jr. have built a solid reputation over the last 46 years. Bill, Sr. developed and patented a Dual Voice Coil Woofer that was used by Infinity. Below is a description I found from a review:
I also bought the Generation Fours. My friends turned me on to Watkins speakers back when I was in college...it was our goal from high school until we worked and saved enough money to purchase our first pair of Watkins speakers. Bill Watkins designed and built not only his own popular line but he also designed for Infinity Speakers. I still have that first pair of WSCs --and did I ever play them a lot for over 40 years! They were also transported to many a party but that is another story! A couple of years ago, I was able to ship them to Watkins, who serviced and returned them to me. They play as good as new! Last year for Christmas I treated myself to the Watkins Generation Four. I displayed them in my den where I am working now and pretty much listen to them all day long. It is as if I am there in person listening to a live performance. They received some really good reviews which you can link to here https://www.watkinsstereo.com/in-the-news Watkins speakers are known for their quality and durability plus the business has an outstanding reputation standing behind their products. I have two friends who own the Generation Fours and they are happy as well. Great sound that I will be enjoying for a long time at a great value in my opinion.
