Wilson Audio Haters


I've always wondered why there are so many people out there, that more than any other speaker manufacturer, really hate the Wilson line. I own Maxx 2's and also a pair of Watt Puppys. They are IMHO quite wonderful.

Why does Wilson get so much thrashing?

bo1972,
" We don't focus on a name or brand but on the quality and properties we are looking for."  I am confused how you can say this.  You pretty much only focus on a few brands and if others state they like anything but your brands you callously put them down.  I really don't mean to sound rude, but you certainly don't hold back trashing others' purchases when they talk about them here, inlcuding the purchaser of the B&W 800 D(3)s who was asking about amplification.

I mostly think you just copy and paste the same lines.

"By all the research I did I found out that some brands which are not that expensive are able to create it. In 2007 I started to look for products and brands what could create the same kind of excitement as the expensive systems I owned."

Rather than repeating your same message regarding tru-fu and 3d sound for all of 2017, wouldn't it make sense to you to start a new thread where you concisely list the systems and their components that you have found create the sound you describe?  I actually think it would be a great idea to have your own thread, rather than use others.

In the end, if I was a speaker manufacturer I would so whatever possible, legally, to make it as successful as possible.  Doesn't seem unusual in any way, including Stereophile being bias (assumption) towards those that provide the most towards their own livelihood.

What would be unusual would be any other outcome. 

fleschler, I have lost track of where and in which thread, but several persons earlier have mentioned that while we all agree that having a 3d soundstage is appealing, it is not a true representation of how the music was recorded.  Rather, it was stated it is the result of having an over/under emphasis built into regions (midrange?) of the speakers.  I would be interested if anyone else can add flesh to this statement?

Thank you for your above discussions regarding the creation of a 3d image, as this is a subject of interest to me.



And now his clear thinking disciple named clearthink shows up.  Its like a B movie. 

Bo1972 "I will never share this for free. I spend a lot of time and it gave me a huge leap against all my competitors. Do your own research and I wish you goodluck"

Bo, it is obvious you do not think it is improper on any level to fill pages and pages with what boils down to your advertising (call it self promotion or whatever).  What makes it really ridiculous is that you don't even seem to have anything to sell in the U.S.

You should be required to put a dealer disclaimer or whatever type of sales entity you are on each of your mini novels.  I would not want to talk negatively towards you but you have not had any problems directly and rudely bashing purchases by A'gon member. 

Thank you timrhu and czarivey for the visual aids, it helps my comprehension immensely.

I thought I was ok until clearthink brought up "the world of music reproduction systems is shifting from one of widdley-tiddley voodoo to TruFi, which is recognized by all who hear it."

Unfortunately, I have spent years tuning my modest system to produce the most accurate widdley-tiddley voodoo possible. And now I ask, what next!

Your all are such gentlemen/women, I have a whole different attitude towards anyone whose main message is that what you own is crap, whether it is or not.  Having to believe that one's own opinion and material things are superior than everyone else's is a symptom.

But he will keep on saying it, over and over.  Bo, stay on Europe's A'gon.
