Description
For sale this highly upgraded and modified pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2 loudspeakers with stands in optional upgrade Macadamia (a shade of bronze) high-gloss metallic color. This is an extremely rare and unique opportunity to become the proud owner of one of the best sounding monitors in the world, customized to Ferrari level performance perfection. Retail is approximately $45k with modifications. Race cars get tuned, and improved on the track over the road version, this WILSON DUETTE is the one on the race track - far superior, with bigger, faster and more engaging sound than we have heard from anything else in the monitor 50k price range. The proud owner upgraded to Børresens M1 speaker pair, a $100k monitor, which we consider as dealer simply the best in the world. This speaker pair was owned by only one owner, kept in mint condition in an environment free of smoke with indirect light. Customizations details: The Wilson Duette 2 monitors, famous for their extraordinary sound, were improved by Nordosts Michael Taylor working with Sterling Trail, a well recognized audio consultant and fine gentleman, detail oriented customization and home hifi expert, and designed to play even at a very close distance to the back wall. Regular Duette 2s retail at $22,500, the owner invested additionally close to $25,000 in upgrades, see below. + The internal wiring was replaced with Nordost Reference (thats an Odin level connection between the crossover and the speaker). + the standard Wilson Audio cable, connecting the Crossover that accepts (spades) the speaker cables, was replaced with Nordosts ODIN, vastly improving the performance to the point that this sounds like a different, much bigger, more expensive speaker than the original Duette2. + Additionally the crossover was pulled away from the stands and improved with 8 Arya RevOPods feet that were together with Wilson Audio installed into the bottom of each crossover, further improving the performance through vibration isolation. Great care was executed to eliminate vibration and noise and isolate the crossover. All modifications were executing in communication with Nordost and the approval of WILSON AUDIO. The result is a full sound that expresses accurately every nuance in the recording maximizing emotion and musicality. Its difficult to believe this is a monitor, since the loudspeaker sound bigger than their size. The speakers and stands are shipped in original crates with grilles and manual. Local pickup is also available.Shipping charges will be calculated after the shipping address is provided.
