Wilmslow Audio Prestiges (oak finish) approx. 4 years old: 12” Volt bass, ATC dome mid, and Scanspeak Revelator D2905/990000 top. Condition good.
Modified and improved:
Rebuilt crossovers: hard wired (no PCBs) using silverplated/PTFE wire using Jantzen coils, Mundorf Supreme capacitors in HF section, Mills and Caddock resistors, housed in external boxes constructed with sound deadened 12mm birch ply (back and front). Only brass screws used for boxes.
Modification involved a small change to original crossover circuit with aim of obtaining a more accurate response. They were then tested by a consultant and confirmed as having a reasonably flat response throughout the audible range. (Frequency response chart – copy available).
External crossovers reduce detrimental microphony effects and facilitate further improvements by DIYer e.g. ease of changes to crossover design/components and conversion to active crossover. Each speaker has 3 pairs of high quality Multi-Contact brand 32A gold plated brass sockets on the rear. These connect directly to the drivers so that they may be directly connected to power amps in active configuration if desired.
Short demo a possibly.
Collection Hitchin, Herts. UK.
Price £1700 ono
Current Kit price (with ready built veneered cabinets) £3326 Cost of upgrade components ~£300 + cost of testing + much time.

What - nobody interested in these fine speakers. Reason for selling is that i'm upgrading to a custom design based on the same drivers. This is to squeeze a little more SQ albeit at considerably more cost.
Hi Esteban Bikic
Whilst it’s possible to ship anything of course it would be difficult. Wilmslow state 90 kg for the pair. Mine will weigh a little more in total because of the modified crossovers and their boxes.
I do not have any suitable packing for these speakers at this time, but it’s possible to make some.
What does “OIGOS” mean please?
You could look at the cost of you arranging and paying for shipping at your risk (?). I would work on 2 x 50kg for the speakers and 2 x 7kg for the crossovers.
I could reduce the price to £1650 to account for the time in packing for shipment.

Thanks for your reply, I did find until now, apologize for it.
Oigos is the voice of a German person saying euros. Now I knew the real price of this gems. 100Kg from England could has an expensive shipping rate. BTW I am interested anyway but I have to think about.
The best regards for you LOZ1

I am still falling in love with them. But.
Recently I got a pair of HEnd speakers, high priced and glossy finish, I did bring to home and connected, then I compared with my full range horns, and immediately returned to the store.
The contrast was so big at all.
Now i guanna yours, but I have to pay a lot only for the coming rate...
Maybe if I visit you and listen them. OMG.
Have a nice afternoon my english friend
