What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?


If you have heard xvx what speakers have you heard that are better for less money? Seems Jay just got XVX and can't help but wonder if there are speakers that perform better for example for $100k or less. Including used.

Hello to all,

I think the price debate is wrong, it is not the right way to look for the materials that fit us. 

It's not about beating Wilson or Magico and consort, for less or more, it has no interest. 
It's good to read the opinions of Jay, Jeff, Paul,..., but nothing beats a personal listening.
Everyone should be able to find what they need according to their means.

You have to start with the basics and ask yourself the right questions:

in which room we will listen to our Hifi system
what are its dimensions, 
what acoustics has this room 
what is my auditory sensitivity,
what are our musical tastes
what emotion I am looking for

Any purchase of this type of material requires hours of listening, days of testing, change: cables, electronics, sources, positioning, sector, etc. ...

It's a very long process, there is no absolute truth, everything is a question of sensitivity that is specific to each of us.
Everything is very subjective in the Hifi, there are so many parameters to take into account.

I am sure that there are several brands of speakers that are as powerful and musical that will meet our expectations.

You also need to find a dealer who will listen to you and point you in the right direction, but that's another debate.
