Slightly more expensive and a limited edition to justify the near USD 700K/pr

 

Wilson Audio WAMM Master Chronosonic loudspeaker.

“The WAMM Master Chronosonic is the most time-domain correct loudspeaker in Wilson’s history. It plums new depth in terms of technology and execution. From drivers to cutting-edge composites, from crossover technology to perfecting geometries. Most importantly, the adjustability in the time domain is precise down to five millionths of a second for any installation—accuracy heretofore only achievable in the theoretical domain.The result is a musical experience with a level of intellectual and emotional verisimilitude only bettered by the live musical event itself. It is a loudspeaker truly worth of the term ‘Magnum Opus’.”


Price and availability:
Limited to 70 pairs US MSRP $685,000

 

The level of the education at Wilson Audio also appears to............"plumb new depths"!!!!!!!!!

How ridiculously amateurish....................especially considering the price level.

I always thought monocoque design was one piece - the exploded view shows a front and back, also top and bottom and sides.  For $175k I suppose you can expect a lot of marketing BS or maybe a BMW M6.  Shape reminds me of Wilson Benesch.

That is $172K USD, expect it to be a cool $250K+ AUD per pair. Dealer took 2 orders on it today.

When does yours arrive ;) 

 

M6 is not on my radar, but I will go to Hong Kong when they're available in 3Q and listen to them in Radar Audio showroom. I heard the M-Pro there, I think they were only $127k USD. Big price jump from there to get to M6.

Hi, thought it time to add a few piccies of 'speaker porn' from Diesis Audio. Look fab! Well to me!  Roma, Caput Mundi, Aura and Ludos.

That video should be titled " how to market $5,000 worth of materials for the cost of a four bedroom home".  

 

Everything that is abhorrent in audio wrapped in a thin veneer of pseudo science and false grandeur. Slate, powder coating, metal and woodwork are functional tasks performed in thousands of factories daily at minimal cost. We built a powder coating furnace and an application technique from the most rudimentary materials to coat the interior of hot water pressure vessels for less than this joker spends on hair care products.

 

I built my picnic table out of the same wood they use to frame houses but it doesn't mean I can live under it. How on earth does building a horn from the same wood they use to make Martin guitar bodies result in a great speaker? Would it be better if they used the wood they make Grand Pianos from?

I was really impressed with the "barn" that the equipment is/was housed in.

 

Workmanship of the wooden parts looked excellent, some other aspects of the system I was not so impressed with.

 

Seeing the part about the slate quarrying process was interesting.

 

Would not speculate on the sound, not heard anything from that manufacturer or any others (that I am aware of) shown in this topic.

 

In my opinion worthy of inclusion here, compares with other offerings in this topic.

Cant comment on value with the OMA products but have a 401 bolted into one of their 100mm double slate plinths which I purchased built up. The workmanship is very smart indeed but for 6500usd plus delivery it should be!
