Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo


What a bargain, still bet they sound great with the right amp up them, looking at that impedance/phase angle graph.

XVX is a very demanding load, with EPDR less than 1.1 ohms between 52Hz and 66Hz and between 197Hz and 287Hz, with minimum values of 0.91 ohms at 450Hz and 0.94 ohms at 3250Hz. The Chronosonic XVX should be used with amplifiers that don't have problems driving loads of 2 ohms and lower.

Form follows function.

I can see why some may not like the look of them, but they are speakers. Speakers make sound...

And given the price of these, 99.999999% of amps are already ruled out. What are you wanting to do, drive them with a charming vintage set up? 

Doubt it. 
The impedance chart is a bit of a mute point when you are looking at comparable amps. D’Agostino Relentless etc. 

Dont know if I would buy these if I could. But, would sure love to be in a position where this level of gear could be considered. Then it’s all about what do you want your system to really sound like, without compromise. 
This "wife" thing which often show up in stereophile reviews seems to be  an editorial directive. It is a truly painful rethoric and it makes me doubt of all the rest. This things look like Terminator twins. I cannot imagine them sounding effortless.

Looks to me like you're making a subjective interpretation.

Why don't  you quit trying to be so cryptic and say what you actually mean. Otherwise it's ALL open to interpretation..........
