Has Anyone Owned Or Heard A Pair Of Watkins WE-1?


The only info I can find is a review in Stereophile from 1983 by J. Gordon Holt.

I was a dealer for them for a short time back in the 1983 time frame.
As I recall they had the Watkins Dual coil (used by Infinity), drivers. Made in Tennessee, by the gentleman who designed that driver.
They are flat, kind thick, maybe six to eight inches thick; overstuffed with acoustic material, with acoustically padded material, (around the drivers) and sounded pretty good for a speaker from that era. Dipole? Dead brain cells are trying to remember this.
I do remember that that I thought them pleasant. Retailed for about $1800 to $2500. at introduction.
Made in limited qantities.
Ahh, memories. Pretty good sounding, and Mr. Watkins was a truly 'good audio guy'.
Good luck.
