Wilson Audio paint problems
Wilson audio sophia 2 is an expensive system and to change the paint job becaue you have grown tired of the color is one thing. But for you to have to do it because of a manufacturing defect with the finish is wrong headed. Wilson should make good...

Never mind the Ferrari paint shop. You bought this speaker new from this dealer. This is a big ticket item the paint job on the damn things should be of the highest quality. I have a feeling you just might have to become a torn in Wilson's side an...
