Wilson Audio Autobiography

Autobiography

Flagship Reference Loudspeaker
Starting at $788,000 Per pair · Standard finish

Wilson Audio's story told through engineering, through waves of music. A five-way loudspeaker in an M(MTM)M array with every transducer making its debut in this system — the most ambitious loudspeaker Wilson Audio has ever created.

An autobiography is a personal chronicle — a record of lived experience shaped by time, intention, discovery, and refinement. In that spirit, the Wilson Audio Autobiography stands as a sculpted narrative of the company's history, pursuit of musical truth, and dedication to craftsmanship. Not just a personal chronicle, but a personnel chronicle.

This paradigm-shifting design journals the path Wilson Audio has traveled, from the earliest WAMM and WATT experiments to a forward-looking statement that could only exist today. Autobiography is not a compilation of prior solutions. It is the result of understanding why those solutions succeeded, and how they could be refined, reimagined, and elevated.

At the core lies a completely new driver complement. New PentaMag midrange drivers evolve the QuadraMag platform with five AlNiCo magnets. The CSLS laser-sintered tweeter advances the Convergent Synergy technology. Two dissimilar woofers — 12-inch and 15-inch — were engineered as a unified system. A rear-firing ambient tweeter enriches spatial information.

The crossover housing is constructed from carbon fiber and mounted to a V-Material vibration sink. Every capacitor is wound in-house to ±0.2% tolerance. Standing nearly 84 inches tall, Autobiography is Wilson Audio's story told through engineering, through waves of music. A memoir of memory, rendered in sound.

PentaMag Midrange
A direct evolution of the QuadraMag platform, now employing five AlNiCo magnets for greater motor strength, improved flux stability, and enhanced linearity under dynamic load. Capable of conveying the full emotional weight of voices and instruments without congestion.
CSLS Tweeter
The Convergent Synergy Laser Sintered tweeter represents the latest evolution of Wilson's Convergent Synergy technology with a redesigned rear wave chamber that improves energy dissipation and lowers the noise floor.
Dissimilar Woofer System
Two entirely new woofers of differing dimensions — 12-inch and 15-inch — conceived in parallel and engineered as a unified system. Together they form a seamless low-frequency foundation with speed, control, and scale.
Rear Firing Tweeter
An inverted dome RFT constructed from aerospace-grade carbon fiber, designed to enrich spatial depth and harmonic decay. Adjustable from 0dB to -40dB for precise room tailoring.
Precision Alignment Hardware
Bespoke module alignment sleds with calibrated scales enable time-domain precision that exceeds both the WAMM Master Chronosonic and the Chronosonic XVX.
In-House Crossover
Handcrafted point-to-point crossover in a carbon fiber housing with copper AudioCapX-WA capacitors and Reliable Capacitors wound to ±0.2% tolerance.
