    Hi WBF, Is anyone familiar with an audio dealer named Audio Retreat? I am contemplating a purchase but am not familiar with the company. They appear to be located in the UK. A google search of the address shows a storage company. Has anyone done business with this company?

    Wilson Loke

    Interesting discussion comparing JL and Wilson. Both top brands. IME I moved from a JL Gotham to Wilson Thor. Both powerful in their own way. My mains are Wilson and the Thor(s) simply integrated better. More of the same cloth sonically if you will.
