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

interesting how every different hifi forum has a different take on the big Wilson's reflecting the particular forum culture and membership.

no right or wrong to it, but the differences are dramatic.

Anyone who psychologically needs these speakers really needs the pretty little speaker wire trestles.  Anything less will make your soon-to-be ex-friends worry that you are actually taking you meds.

Agreed.

Seems these type of threads always revolve around cost rather than sound quality. I've heard the XVX many times, with the Chronosonic subs, and with the right supporting gear, they are some of the best out there. IMHO of course. BTW, if you can afford the speakers, you can also afford property supporting gear including amps that can drive them.

the gate ( sold out ) last night for Grammy nominated JD Souther was $30 k. He played 3 hours with a short break. You do the math on a decent nite of listening....

he was awesome BTW...great storyteller, emotional connection to the songs...covered some artists he admires.....

Los Lobos is up next....

If I was worth a couple hundred millions dollars I may consider something like this. But....... alas I am not. Better feel like a godamn orgasm everytime I turn it on.
