Trevor Whittle Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Item Condition: Used but working beautifully Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: 3134 Ringwood North State: VIC Payment Method: Paypal Cash EFT Reason for selling: Not using much any more Further information: The story About 5 years ago, I bought a the bass units for these speakers from a Stereonet member for about $3300. These are the original Wilsons in their crates. I then went on a mission to complete the set but the Tiny Tots were way beyond my budget. I then searched and found plans and specs, including the crossovers and drivers on the net . I was fortunate to find the Focal Tweeters and ScanSpeak Bass Mids NOS in Melbourne for about $1000 all up. Then I found a cabinet maker in Melbourne who had been recommended by a Stereonet member and he built the Tots according to the specs and many internet images., including the grab handles which apparently were on the originals for ease of use in a studio. He recommended a spray painter who sprayed the speakers in a shiny black to match the bass units. Next, Dr Sound built the crossovers, using the very best components and I sourced the other hardware. These speakers weigh a ton. And even though I love lugging my speakers around, I cannot move them without help. Included are the 4 pieces, floor spikes, and I think I can find the grilles somewhere (no guarantee). The Tots stand on the lip of the bass units and I used to adjust the angle with custom built wedges of three different degrees. (I suggest the same, but you have to make. source your own wedges) Condition: Obviously these are used, so don;t expect "mint" - but they look and sound amazing. If you, like me, have often dreamt of a owning a massive world class speaker, these are just that. For years, I used the Tots only and they are in my opinion, worth the asking price on their own. (Check the specs, dimensions etc, on the net,) Courier is an option -- and is included in the price.

Lansche plasma guy Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 12 hours ago, Trevor Whittle said: The top is DIY (pro) and the bottoms are WIlson Hi just wanted to ask what the top diy enclosure is made of? Enclosure material makes a huge difference to the sound of a speaker and Wilson's enclosure materials are usually proprietary. Online it says for the top unit of the 6 : "The series-6 WATT was constructed of a mineral-filled acrylic-based material that had been used for the WATT for 15 years. "For the series-7 WATT, Wilson Audio turned to its M material, a high-tech composite that's used in varying degrees in the cabinets of all other Wilson Audio speakers. Regardless of the material you have used its a fantastic clone effort and I'm sure they sound wonderful. LPG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
