Any other tweaks for Wilson Audio Duettes?


I have the Wilson Audio Duettes- series one. They have always been on their associated stands and usually placed at least 3 to 5 feet into the room. I have had good experience placing the tweeter on the bottom (upside down), and have had good results replacing the supplied umbilical speaker wire with at first, very pure copper, and later very pure silver speaker wire. Has anyone else done the same? What are your experiences? I have paired them with good solid state amplifiers and also good tube integrateds. Both had improved results with the above. My listening chair sits low so that may make a difference. I have had these primarily in a small room in a near field environment. My ears are about 8 feet from the speakers. Thanks for any further suggestions.

The stands are the bespoke stands for the Duettes. They are fairly sturdy affairs. I have had good success putting anti-vibration products underneath the crossover and also underneath the stands. This is really a question to me of wringing the last iota out of the product. And if the question comes up, I have worked exhaustively with room placement and also introduced room treatment options. I was wondering if anyone else had done anything unique that I hadn't thought of. And also I wanted to introduce the topic so that others might experiment.
