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?

It outperforms any silly system created by trial and error.

I hope your separate budget tweeter doesn't fail on your speaker. I know your Esoteric very well. In my world this is inferior audio. I am even prepared to demo it especially for you :)
Whenever I hear them on the show, I wish I have room and money to buy them, they are good speakers.
Sad to see another interesting thread hijacked by a salesman. First Audioquest cables, now Monitor speakers. Where's a good moderator when you need one.

That’s the spirit @bo1972-- a takedown of Tannoy super tweeters and an Esoteric K-01X with a rubidium clock and custom Paul Hynes power supply that you cannot have heard in combination, not to mention the silliness of housing that stack in a Starsound Rhythm rack with custom silver PCs and balanced power. All by trial and error, of course.

With respect to Tru-Fi, I was fishing for details on methodology or testing instead of a repetition of exclamations. BTW, I have heard Monitor Platinum 500s and do like their technology and value.

To the OP, I do like Wilson and lived with Watt/Puppies for 10 years before migrating to Merlins VSMs. All decisions are made at a point in time.  For me the Merlins were a better platform for modifications that have kept this model viable over the years, albeit without that last octave of LF extension.
