So what I love about this channel is multi layered. Firstly, it’s not trying to sell me something. It’s more akin to having a buddy pop round to the house and regale you with his latest adventures and finds. That’s crucial for me… I’m not big on channels that tell you all about what is essentially a very niche and subjective hobby, making you feel like you are missing out on something. What this channel does so wonderfully is pique one’s interest… provides food for thought. It’s led me personally to some wonderful discoveries such as Wallen Bink, DS audio etc without me feeling force fed. But what I’ve really enjoyed (and DK and I talk / chat almost every other day so I’ve already shared this thought with him), is that it’s been fantastic watching the channel grow. This is a busy man, with a busy job and other hobbies keeping him equally busy besides audio, and yet to find the time and produce great content speaks volumes. He isn’t just bitching and moaning about Mofi, or taking pot shots at Shabby Road Half Speed Disasters, Ja, and then uploading click bait. This is a music lovers channel, without all the aspirational BS so frequently uploaded by others. So Kudos to DK for expanding on the Wilson video and last weeks drop-dead brilliant video at SuperSense. I think you’ll be hard pushed to find another channel with such a fluid and open approach to sharing cool finds, ideas and companies. Records, speakers, CD’s, transatlantic relocations, cartridges, coffee, bikes, record shops, city walk throughs, hifi shows, manufacturers, artisans, camera’s…. There are far far worse ways to spend 30 or so minutes on a Sunday! Hats off to you DK… how you manage to fit this all in astounds me, each and every time.

Leave it up to Craig ……….. you make me blush! Thanks so much my friend, appreciate you. 🥰🐣🎅🏼

[@papabear1417]

Fabulous! A company who realise the emoyees are the biggest asset.

[@SonicFlare]

Absolutely. It all gels. I’d love to know how many other manufacturers keep track of each and every speaker they ever made and sold, for I doubt it’s many…

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

New sub to your channel. I caught your appearance on Rachel Ghost stream. What a fine tour and such an impressive company. I purchased a pair of pre-owned Sabrinas this year. I just love them. It's not the flagship but the DNA is there! Look forward to viewing your previous videos. Greg

[@SonicFlare]

Very cool, thank you Greg! Yes, Wilson truly is a cut above others in the industry. I don’t think people realize it as much as they perhaps should… Sabrinas are an absolute smash 💥, a genuine super speaker!!! Thanks for joining the channel!

[@MrLovell1971]

Happy Holidays Danny love the tour of Wilson Audio I got hear those speakers at Axpona man they sound amazing those are definitely a dream speaker to own I really enjoy that take care. Lovellandrew

[@SonicFlare]

Thanks my friend! Appreciate you!

[@stefandenic7144]

Of course you'd have lifetime product support, you've invested so much money in speakers, it should last at least two lifetimes.

[@SonicFlare]

That's unfortunately rarely a given.

[@brianlewis5042]

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Great company. More importantly I see you are getting back in the groove of things. I queasy you get more settled in , the KZbin family will see more content. Blessings in the New Year

[@SonicFlare]

Thank you kindly Brian!

[@brunorivademar5356]

I salute you Mr Kaey. You are absolutely smashing it! Good to have tou back Sr

[@SonicFlare]

Thanks Bruno, I greatly appreciate your sentiment!

[@jasonarsenault3791]

There are so so many cup holders in this video 😜 Outstanding video Danny. Wow.

[@SonicFlare]

LOL! Always appreciate your comments and laughter!

[@deadquietvinyl]

I remember now. This is part of some recording you did a ehile back at WA. Nice montage!

[@SonicFlare]

😎😉🎁

[@betze7169]

Happy holidays and a good start in Hungary!

[@SonicFlare]

Thank you! 🙏🏼🐣

[@Thereznap]

great tour. thanks for sharing. i've seen a bunch of Wilson videos. but non of them showed, mentioned, or even recommend what equipment should go with the speakers !?. too bad. having said that. i noticed that they have Mark Levinson and NAGRA .but nothing was said about them.

[@SonicFlare]

Ha! Thanks for tuning in… there’s all sorts of equipment that can go with Wilson. I must have heard it with who knows how many different combinations of gear over the decades. Not sure what your question is.

[@Thereznap]

@@SonicFlare thanks for your reply. the million dollar question is: what is the right Amp / pre-amp/ solid state/ tube amp/ or hybrid should make a perfect match with sasha-v ?. the more i watch videos about the aforementioned equipment . the more i get confused and lost :0) Cheers

[@ericpathi]

Merry Christmas Brother ! great video

[@SonicFlare]

Thanks bubba! Appreciate it! Merry Christmas!

[@JardinagemOrg]

Merry Christmas 🌲🖖🏻

[@SonicFlare]

Thank you! Same to you and yours! 🎁🦌🙏🏼

[@Domonkos.Siegfried]

Cheers from Budapest!

[@SonicFlare]

OMG you’re in Budapest?!?

[@Domonkos.Siegfried]

@@SonicFlare Yes indeed (it's my hometown). I love your channel and was surprised to see that you're in the region, once again. I hope you're having a good time here!

[@Domonkos.Siegfried]

OK, I just realized that you moved to Szentendre since a while. I should have followed your most recent videos better :)

[@SonicFlare]

Haha! Yup! Let’s connect at some point - I’m in downtown all the time!

[@Domonkos.Siegfried]

@@SonicFlare Great! Eiffel Palace, right? I will drop you a mail.

[@mitchf1078]

Happy holidays

[@SonicFlare]

Cheerios! Have a great holiday season!

[@elderinmoi1571]

Now they should find a way to produce more cost effective to bring the price down. Everybody can do it the expensive way.

[@SonicFlare]

Thanks for tuning in! Touring the facility, meeting all the team members, the level of detail, etc. WA would simply not be able to do that staying true to their North Star. Sure, they could move production to a low wage country, but that's not what WA is about. They really care about their employees...

[@maurice4407]

I agree that WA should stay true to their mission, but maybe do something like ZU audio with their dirty weekend offers. An old technology that basically cost nothing to produce, since all the R&D was paid for…..

[@SonicFlare]

@@maurice4407 now that's a very interesting thought! Clever... sort of like keep the N-1 product around or N-2 product around for a more affordable price. Hmmmmmm clever!

[@maurice4407]

Thank you Danny…happy new year

[@theboomerscalper]

Nice haircut!

[@SonicFlare]

I figured someone would notice…….. I’ll be in LA / SD Jan 1…….. let’s hang!

[@theboomerscalper]

@@SonicFlare I’m back on 1/3.

[@deadquietvinyl]

Yeah, nice Johnny Bravo haircut! I love it! 👏

[@SonicFlare]

@@deadquietvinyl LOL!

[@mmfs6001]

An honest constructive feedback for you. Many of your video could be half the length. You have too much fluff and lot of empty words , greetings, pleasantries etc. I alway end up closing out a few minutes in as you don’t get to the point.

[@SonicFlare]

Fair enough. Although Ted Turner’s famous mantra was always… “only more is more”. 😝
