What is a better value speaker -- Kharma 3.2FE at


$21k or WP7 at $22k? I understand that choosing between these 2 speakers is more of a "personal taste" issue or perhaps a synnergistic issue with associated equipment.

The Kharmas, being imported speakers may be overpriced given the declining value of the dollar versus EU currencies. Wilson on the other hand, being a domestic product is not subject to currency valuation -- but are they at the proper price point?

Appreciate your thoughts.

For what it's worth, I think even about 2 years ago the 3.2FEs retailed at $21K. So for what it's worth, the 3.2s have in some ways become a better value in the past 2 years rather than worse.

I own a pair of 3.2FEs so take my comments with a grain of salt. But I think that for the things they do well, the 3.2s are unmatched at essentially any price point or definitely not at a lower pricepoint. I was looking hard at the WP7s before buying the 3.2s as well. But most people I talked to believed the Kharmas to be the better speaker. In terms of value, I think it depends on how you look at it. The 3.2s are a great value compared to the higher models of the Kharma line, while the same thing can be said about the WP7s in relation to the rest of the Wilson Audio line.
