When I hear “Chicago” and “Audio” I am triggered to Albert Portis name. Every single time 😂😂🤷♂️🤷♂️
Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer
So, what's with the Chicago used gear dealer who constantly advertises tons of used Wilson, (the same models for over a year or more) yet anyone who calls him to buy a pair get's totally discouraged by him on Wilson?
Is this just the old bait and switch with him having none of them in stock? Right now he must have 12 ads of the 20 on Audiogon- yet when called about actually buying a pair he doesn't even attempt to subtly switch you to something else. He makes you feel like an idiot for considering buying Wilson and will "only sell you a pair of you insis"t and then tells you "but I know I"ll only be buying them back from you".

I have bought and traded with uncle Albert before . he is honest and gives very fair dealers .i may buy from him again next year if I don’t but my MBL monitors ,r Martens ,Wilson Sabrina2 I was looking for used but in high demand , many great used Wilsons , myself I rebuild the Xover to very high quality standards having 20 years in Xover rebuilds it is a great way to get a great speaker and make it even better.

Cool @audioman58 - you're able to improve on Wilson's crossovers? Pretty impressive. |
Cowen217 these companies never use top Xover parts They bought Rel caps they are good but far from tops like#1 Duelund the others between 2-4 all are close at this level ,Milflex, Jupiter ,VH audio which Copper foil is the best ,Silver foil better detail stil most use metal particles sprayed on plastic poly caps , and Resistors Mundorf New, and worlds only Audiophile copper foil resistor best detail without question Magico now starting to use from A5 on up , psth audio is a close 2nd a bit warmer but not quite as detailed . inductors Jantzen are a great buy and excellent quality their copper foil waxed paper inductors much less then Duelunds inductors but very close , Jantzen copper open coil are great for Bass. Just go to Humble homemade Hifi capacitor rest this is a capacitor cook book very accurate Wilson’s caps are rated around a 9 duelund 14+ Jupiter,Milflex 13+ |
