Latest and greatest version of this fabled speaker that put Wilson on the map.
Series 8 benefited from a plethora of improvements including cabinet redesign, plus updates to the drivers and the crossovers.
Highly sought after speakers and in our opinion should be owned by every serious audiophile at some point.
This particular pair comes in gloss black and includes the original grills and original spikes.
Condition is good but not perfect. They have a few scratches or scuffs here and there, but they are overall very presentable and clean. Blemishes are hardly visible a few feet back.
They are in perfect working condition and have been fully tested in our lab.
Original MSRP was $27,900. Here is your chance to own a legendary speaker at a fraction of the cost.
*These speakers will ship flat rate freight on a pallet anywhere within the lower 48 US states for $900 w/insurance. If you're outside of this area please contact us for a quote. We also ship worldwide.

The SkyFi Testing Process for Speakers:
Our speaker evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors.
After the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle. During listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement.
