Hard to say - if they were stored properly, there should be zero issue with them; unlike all other pre-recorded tapes that were dubbed at 10 to 50x speed, these were done in real time (I think!)… sonically they should be fantastic

I had several experts, Fremer, Johnnie Cochran, Ted Denney, to name just a few, all help select these paints for the blackest backgrounds and widest possible soundstage - it’s quite remarkable how the inner most outer notes are fleshed out with these paints and the blackness of backgrounds is simply black hole like. Love it!

It would be cool if you could compare the Wilsons with the Devores at some point. I have two sets of Devore speakers, and I've heard a number of Wilson models, but never in the same room. I like both, but I've always been curious how they compare in the same environment as my home is very different than the local Wilson showroom.
