Wilson Revisits the WAMM

It's close to 55 years since David Wilson built his first loudspeaker, and 34 years since he developed a method to measure time-domain differences. It was also in 1981, the same year that he received a patent for time-domain driver adjustability, that Wilson Audio released the game-changing Wilson Audio Modular Monitor loudspeaker or the WAMM.

In two small, private presentations in the Mirage, Dave Wilson joined several other indispensible members of his team—his son Daryl and wife Sheryl Lee, as well as Peter McGrath and John Giolas—to present a jaw-dropping mock up of the proposed, superhumanly proportioned successor to the original WAMM (currently 82" tall without spikes, approx. 23" wide, and approx. 35" deep).

No photos were allowed, hence the curtain. Each full-range tower will be adaptable to various room sizes and acoustical environments, and to allow micro-tuning in the time domain. Given the excellence of Wilson Audio's current line-up—their speakers were all over the Venetian, as well as in several exhibit suites in the Mirage—the mouth waters.
