Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars


Wonder what the impedance/-phase angle graph will look like on these puppies, looking at the amount of D'Agostino amps used to drive them, I'd say could be pretty evil.

I don't think I have laughed so hard in months.

Whoever said, "There is a sucker born every minute" was so right.

Hilarious!

Why?  You could BUY most orchestras for that same $ and hear the actual MUSIC as opposed to listening to it from a BOX.

Hilarious beyond belief.  

Cheers,

It is hard to imagine any designer believing that lower speaker impedance is a good thing. My guess is that the higher power output of many amps when driving lower loads is (was) the main motivation.

Right??


Those are some of the fugliest speakers I've ever seen, and this is from someone who happens to be a Wilson fan!
Those Wilsons are simply irrelevant.  True innovation with speaker design is taking place many places, but always far from Provo.
