Wilson Audio paint problems


Hi - am I the only person who has experienced problems with Wislon Audio products? I bought a brand new pair of Sofia 2s and after about 12 months they developed cracking around the top and front edge. This has spread laterally at the top if the speaker. I approached the distributor who offered to take them to a Ferrari paint shop! I called Wilson Audio but the guy I was put through to did not return my calls.

I have since purchased a pair of Duettes on Audiogon. These too have developed a light crack down the side along one of the seams. I love Wilson speakers (I have the centre and sub/sub controller too). I have invested a lot of money in the brand but now feel completely unable to get my problems sorted. Looking on the web, there seems to be a lot about WA's commitment to the client. I just feel I can't get access to it!

Does anyone else have a similar experience or advice?

Brianmgrarcom , 2 months is simply too long to make a customer wait for something that was paid for that turned out to be defective.

Perhaps the custom color was an issue, but they also still charged him for that.
Not to be a Wilson fan, but the custom paint color takes time. So it makes sense. I think the Wilson service has always been top notch. Too much negative talk here for no reason. Wilson has some of the best service in the industry and answer phone calls with ease. Unfortunately some other comopanies are having a difficult time and have cut customer service.

They also support their dealer network very strongly. If I had every customer coming to me rather than working with my salespeople I wouldn't be able to give good service. Wilson is doing the right thing. They support their dealers (as few companies do) and deliver top notch service. The only thing is you do pay more for it. For me it is worth it. Unfortunately to many Audigoners are looking for something for nothing.

Also, if you live abroad and don't want to pay for shipping then taking the speakers to a car dealership is a great solution.
Dgad - to be honest, I would pay for the shipping. The thought of dismantling them and takingthem to a paint shop and doing all that stuff is just nuts.
Dgad, Still it seems 2 months for a custom paint job???

Come on. They put his order in the back of the line so they could sell product before getting to his warranty repair.
krupski,

Did you contact Wilson yourself yet? For me that is the big deal. What did they say to you. Not the dealer or a different dealer.
