Wilson not delivering speakers as scheduled


Anyone else having a difficult time getting their Wilson speakers delivered as scheduled?  I ordered a new pair of Wilson’s in March and was told I would have them by September.  It’s mid November and speakers are still not delivered nor likely to arrive soon.  Anyone ordering speakers from Wilson, take note, add 3-6 months to whatever you are told!

feel free to PM me if you have any additional questions. Hope this helps.

 

Excellent response.  You answered all my questions exactly.  My room is about the same size as yours, and I was worried about the bass response of the L600 being a little too much.  Thanks for differentiating between the R and L series.  It seems to be as I thought.

I currently have the Polk Lsim 705.  Before them, I had the Polk Lsi15 and then Polk LS90, so I am a Polk guy. :)  Before then, JBL.

Thank You

Cheers

 

 

@rok2id A couple of years ago I bought the Polk Lsim 703’s new for like 450 bucks since they were being discontinued. I had no need for them but just wanted to hear them. I sold those earlier this year so I don’t have them for direct comparison but the legends and the reserves are going to have quite a bit more resolution and detail while the 703 are bit darker and warmer. Low end and mid bass punch were also impressive with the 703’s but the L200's, which are comparable stand mounts, beat those pretty handily based on memory.

Many companies that depend on chemicals can't guess when they will have the supplies needed to make their products.  Now try to make that guess when you also use several other building materials that are unpredictable.  Wilson builds some of the most complex speakers I have ever seen or heard.  That's a double edged sword right now.  That had always been their biggest advantage until now, when it is also their biggest disadvantage.  I'm waiting for something, not from Wilson, that I ordered a year ago and all that is preventing it from being built is glass, and that's literally made from sand.

Delaying deliveries is another way of creating and maintaining brand value.

All top money products are made in less numbers than are demanded.  It keeps prices high.

I guess about half the price of Wilsons is just for the name.

Believe it or not there is a world wide shortage of sand. Many of the wineries can't get enough glass bottles for their wine.
