I have owned in succession the Sophia 1's, WP7's/WATCHDog, MAXX2 and now MAXX3. All of them had a flawless quality finish. I have never heard of or seen complaints of finish issues in talking with many other Wilson owners either, though I am sure some likely exist. I'm sure based on my own experiences, whatever issues there may have been were resolved.

Best to let those who've had first hand experiences contribute their own issues if they have them. I recall a gentleman elsewhere in this forum who was bashing an electronics company on line and calling their QC and service bad because he had a buddy, who's local friend bought some expensive amps and had them short out on delivery. It turns out (reported by the actual dealer), not mentioned was the fact they were ship-damaged or the fact the company offered to replace them sight unseen. Loose references to other threads and others experiences are just that.

I'm hoping someday to own either a Sophia 3 or the Sasha.
The finish issue i've been hearing is also a concern considering the speaker of this price range.
To those who had this issue, does that crack get worst over time ?
It a rather difficult to remedy the problem if the unit does not reside in the US.
Say for those people that live in China, France or Southeast Asia. I guess, in short, they will have to live with those cracks. It is expensive to be shipping back speakers of this size to Provo Utah for repairs.
Other than this issue and my finances, I'm ready to go for a pair of these speakers.

Let me reiterate that I believe Wilson Audio and my dealer will do everything to correct the situation. My research has led my to conclude that the cracks were the result of a bad glue. It was isolated and it's my understanding that Wilson Audio went above and beyond to remedy the situation. I would not hesitate to buy Wilson products again and thats why I'm waiting to hear the Sophia 3's.

I agree about shipping them back to Utah, but I guess I have no choice.

The crack has not changed since it first appeared and there aren't any sonic effects.

Nice, simple system!
Looking forward to owning a Sophia or Sasha someday!! someday!
Thanks for the re-assurance.
Well, it is almost the middle of June. Has anyone had the chance to listen to the Sophia 3's?

Thanks!
