I recently purchased a pair of Cub Series 1 speakers. I have never owned Wilson Audio speakers before. What is their support like?

I sent the following in an email to Trent at Wilson Audio over the weekend and have not gotten a response;

I recently purchased a used (obviously) pair of Cub Series 1. They sound a bit "off" so I decided to measure them. Things I have done;

  1. Played 1.8khz-20khz pink noise to verify the tweeters were working. They are.
  2. Measured the in room response as a pair and it had a couple of significant dips, one at 250hz-600hz and another from ~3khz to ~14khz with a sharp rise to 20khz.
  3. I placed one of the speakers so that the tweeter was ~55" of the floor centered in the room and ran a scan with a calibrated mic about 1 meter a way on the tweeter access. When I gated the measurement at 5ms the low freq dip went away but the high freq dip remained and it was anywhere from 6 - 10db down.
  4. Using a multimeter I measured the resistance at the test points on the back of each speaker. One measure ~2.4 ohms the other ~3.6 ohms. What I have found online is they should be ~1 ohms. However I could not find anything which describes the tolerance, or what differing values mean.

A few questions;

  1. Are there any further troubleshooting steps I should do?
  2. Where can I find the meaning of the resistance values on the test points.
  3. Is this dip in the treble a standard "voicing" on these speakers?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
 
Those speakers are 25-30 Years old. Not sure who at Wilson even remembers them. The technology is outdated at best.
OK, they are certainly not in their current line up. Should I at least expect a courtesy reply saying they are no longer supported?

If I can't get support from the company, I am not opposed to doing a little DIY analysis and perhaps repair, if there are any forums which may support folks like me.
