A short animated video revealing the form-factor changes within the SabrinaX in comparison to the previous model. The SabrinaX is a ground-up rethinking of the Sabrina, perhaps the most universally loved of Wilson’s small, floor-standing loudspeakers during the last several decades. The original Sabrina attracted a loyal, almost cult-like following. It was a rare combination of traditio...[more]

The Man Who Started it All The original WATT began not as a response to a perceived market need. It was not the product of focus groups. Dave Wilson never intended it to be a commercial product at all. Dave designed the WATT in 1985 as a tool for himself. He was a recording engineer who needed a loudspeaker he could take with him to on-location recording venues, a location monitor that s...[more]

Thunder, you see, primarily occupies the frequency spectrum from 20-120 hertz. Thor�s Hamme...[more]

TuneTot The Smallest Wilson Special Applications Engineering is a part of the founding DNA of Wilson Audio. The first product to fit that definition was the Wilson Audio Tiny Tot, or WATT®. Long before it became the upper module of the venerable WATT/Puppy® combo (the best-selling over $10k loudspeaker in audio history), Dave Wilson utilized the WATT as a portable location monito...[more]

Dave Wilson recently observed that even if he were an accountant he’d still design and build loudspeakers. It’s in his blood. Even as a young teenager, Dave was obsessed with the sound of live music. He was enthralled with the idea that an audio system—specifically its transducers—could temporarily suspend disbelief, could momentarily convince the listener that what he w...[more]

As any physicist knows, no device, no matter how clever or sophisticated, can eliminate energy. It can only convert undesirable energy into a more benign force. This applies to unwanted vibrations that hamper the fidelity of both transducers (such as analog playback devices) and electronics (which are susceptible to vibration-induced microphonics).With this understanding, Wilson Audio’s...[more]

Taking Up the Challenge The Wilson engineering team began with a concept: design a loudspeaker that could work in hostile sonic environments That didn't mean "work acceptably." The challenge was to create a product that would produce the signature Wilson sound in those settings: a wide, deep soundstage in which instruments and voices occupied discrete, three-dimensional space. Voices would so...[more]

The new Wilson Audio Duette series II is available in two configurations: a “bookshelf” mode, and a stand-mounted model. In either configuration, the crossover is external to the speaker itself. This has two important advantages. First, it mechanically isolates the crossover components from the drivers, providing greater freedom from vibration induced grain and noise. Secondly, it a...[more]

Wilson's unique materials research has led to the first new WATT cabinet in its 17-year history. For the first time, the Puppy has a new driver. And to better integrate the two, countless hours were spent refining the crossover. The changes appear subtle; the difference they make is not. In terms of resolution, coherence, bass speed and impact, an already great loudspeaker has been raised to a...[more]

Every Sabrina crossover is a solitary work of art, each built individually to match the reference crossover. Wilson mandates tolerances that are as stringent as plus-or-minus point-two percent (two-tenths of a percent)—much more exacting than what even the best individual components can achieve. While other high-end manufacturers accept this lack of precision as au fait, and crank out tin...[more]

The tweeter portion of the Sasha Series-2 Wilson's Audio baffle is now made from the latest generation of X-Material, like in the Alexia.
