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?

Dear Dave,

my religion is very important in my life as well. That is why I protect each single client. And I will always do the best I can to give them the best possible for the money they spend.

In the last years I met too many people who were not advised on a honest and respectful way. That is why I would like to see a more open and honest world in audio.

This only can be achieved when people have more respect to the people who buy their products. 

have a nice Christmas.

bo1972, is "Tru-Fi" objectively derived (i.e. through test equipment measurement)  or subjectively derived (i.e. through listening impressions)?

If it is objectively derived, i.e. through analysis or measurement by machine, or a new component, then it may be worth further consideration. If the claim is made that it is objectively derived through a particular collection of gear, I am finished with this discussion. If it is subjectively derived, then I am not interested in spending any further time on this discussion.

I don't hate the Wilson's per se, it's their price vs. performance.

I think they are just fine. Maybe not the smoothest or airy-est (two different things) on the top end, but certainly have good dynamic range.

I do find them over-bearing. Their largest speakers are certainly only meant for royalty with listening rooms that can do them justice.

Best,


Erik

+++1 Doug. All we need is yet one more acronym with an unsupported claim to an audio revolution.

I very much agree that sense of 3rd dimension increases greatly the enjoyment of the system.  In fact however, when I go to live concerts I rarely if ever get that 3 D sound that I so enjoy in my system.
