Wilson Audio thinks big with the Autobiography

by | April 2026

A week after AXPONA, Wilson Audio is showcasing at the Springville Museum of Art one of the most impressive loudspeakers ever created.

Closely related to the WAMM, this new work of art is called Autobiography. According to CEO Daryl Wilson, “Autobiography is not merely a loudspeaker, it is the handcrafted story of Wilson Audio sculpted over half a century. Decades of experimentation, discovery, and devotion shaped every surface and every element. This creation is not written in ink, but in materials, engineering, and the desire to connect deeper with our music. Each detail whispers that the hands of those who pursued something better were here.

With eight drivers, this new loudspeaker combines all of Wilson’s proprietary materials (H, V, X) as well as metal in a unique configuration to develop a new structure whose temporal alignment exceeds that of all other models, including the Chronosonic XVX.

A new 1-inch CSLS (Convergent Synergy Laser Sintered) front-firing tweeter (FFT) is positioned at the center of the upper section. It is flanked vertically by two 2-inch MID (Midband Integration Driver) midrange drivers, and then by two 7-inch PentaMag mid-bass drivers, which now utilize five AlNiCo magnets. To improve spatial depth, ambience reproduction and harmonic decay, a 1-inch RFT inverted dome tweeter has been added to the rear of the speaker.

In the lower section, two new woofers designed in parallel combine a 12-inch (30 cm) model and a 15-inch (38 cm) model. These are paired with a new front port, which can be covered and adjusted to suit the room’s acoustics. Standing 2.12 m tall, the Autobiography features a new, uniquely designed crossover, which, as with all Wilson speakers, allows connections only via two speaker terminals inside the cabinet.

There is a wide choice of colors, comprising 5 standard shades (grey, quartz, etc.), 16 superior shades (black, ivory, yellow, orange), 7 Premium shades (satin, gold) and 15 Premium Pearl shades (ruby red, violet, saffron, glacier white, etc.). We hope to discover this new masterpiece at the Vienna show in early June.
