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?

Shadorne, 

My only point is you attack MA, because of your disagreement with Bo. Despite the fact that I love my speakers, I repeatedly say there are no absolutes in Audio. As a matter of fact I didn't like MA Platinum Series I. I think it's more productive to describe the differences between speakers using several recordings. I've had several speakers in my room during the past few years. The best way to discern differences is through listening, not based on design. It was relatively easy to hear the differences between the Aerials and Revel speakers I had. 
"I’m not a client of bo1972’s, but I’m very satisfied with my Monitor Audio PL500’s."

I’ve never heard your speakers, and I’m glad you like them. The issue isn’t the gear per se, it’s the pure arrogance in claiming that only the gear he prefers will give the best results - and even then it can only sound right if he sets it up according to some hidden process he only describes with a gobbledygook buzzword.
p59teitel,
Bo isn’t the only one that’s arrogant on Audiogon. The epitome of arrogance is when someone makes statements about how somethings sounds, yet they’ve never heard it and many people on Audiogon do it all the time. Again, I don’t agree with Bo and how he approaches audio. Despite what Bo thinks, I can name several speakers that I would take over my PL500’s.
Maybe I’m missing here Something ,it looks very strange to me if such huge speakers as the MA PL 500 with its 4 x 8’ bass drivers (!) can’t produce enuogh bass so required additional subwoofer ???

I really don’t get it something must be wrong with this speakers...

I use my sub in my HT system.  I prefer 2-channel without a sub, but occasionally listen with the sub  That being said, you should search for Dave Wilson's comments regarding why he uses subs with the  $200K XLF speakers. I guess it makes you feel better to say something bad about my speakers. As a matter of fact, educate yourself on why many people use subs with their speakers.
