Wilson Spikes


During a little confusion getting my Sophias shipped to me, the spikes were forgotten. This has sionce been resolved, but as a result of my inquiries I felt I needed to ask.

I was quoted for a set of replacement spikes - £350 - not dollars - pounds. I guess this is about $600 for eight spikes.

I read in my new edition of audiocandy that a set of spikes can be had for £3.95 - say $7.

What benefits does Wilson claim for these spikes? And was my local distributor just trying to take advantage of my difficult situation at the time?

Greg - I don't think he's joking! A set of three Goldmund cones (used) goes for never less than $250!
Nope, I'm not joking, thankfully, the dealer I bought them from had only forgotten them and forwarded them when I reminded him.

It does strike me as very steep though....
Since the spkr. is expensive, it follows that so will be the spikes. This is known as "banging the customer out". Generous amts. of KY help.
