Wilson Audio MAXX resistors

You think that resistors may act as fuses? Ask Dave Wilson, I'm sure he'll know.

I'm not going to second guess Peter. He knows a thing or two about speaker and crossover design, and I have not heard of resistor burn out either.

It's nice of them to fix what is apparently a design flaw, but maybe there should have been a recall. Imagine the shipping charges on those systems! It would be more cost effective to send a tech traveling around the country to do the fix on-site.

Polk432,
Why take the issue so personally? You didn't design or build the speakers, and everyone, no matter how gifted, makes a mistake now and then, even Dave Wilson. It's not that big a deal.

Polk432 and Geoffkait,
Really? What happened to "seperate but equal." It is very sad if we begin to define ourselves, or our worth by the type of amplification devices that we use.
It may or may not be that a design flaw caused the resistor failure, but in the scheme of things, it is not very important, and surely not a reason for hard feelings.

No, you gave proper advice. You just became a little thin-skinned when it was suggested that Dave Wilson may have made an error in the design of your speakers.

Right on Peter!
