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, 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.

@bo1972  Please refrain from calling other members "stupid" as you have done a number of times. Feel free to voice your opinion, but let others have their say, and respect their opinions as well. This is a discussion amongst gentlemen, not a lecture class in university.

That being said, I am a Canadian citizen, and travel across Europe every summer, during the month of June on a motorcycle adventure, with no particular destinations planed. I think that you are in South Eastern Europe, and I would like to meet with you, if possible to hear you back up your claims. No animosity BO, just an opportunity. Your call.
