Wilsons new flagship


Maybe I am getting old but Wilsons new flagship $780k  and they feel it is justified,

lit gets better if you want custom paint $110,000 they said it takes 2 days to paint both speakers, Jays audio lab commented and I think it was way too much and 

$110k for $300 in paint is nuts that is truly taking advantage of everyone with wealth, imo only an idiot would pay that. I guess nothing should surprise me any more !!

I have a different approach to keep costs down these days...I like pro horns that aren’t marketed for home use, but, they can beat the daylights out of anything... like a pioneer xy-3b, it had some tad hands in it. Danley, electro-voice, etc make some cool stuff..You need large subs to go with such things, of course.

Within that realm there are different ways to skin your cat with the intention to create a superb home reproduction, but I totally get where you’re coming from. 

If you let audiophiles near anything, price will go up...So, it’s not a bad idea to look at pro markets that audiophiles generally don’t know about (In fact, audiophiles need to be chased away with a broomstick from the other realms if you want lower prices).

However going by a very recent tête à tête of mine, and assuming it has a representative nature, I’d say chances for that to happen (i.e.: an audiophile invasion of pro market grounds) are slim. It’s really their feathers that are ruffled when you’re trying to correct disinformation and a less knowledgeable, preconceived approach to named realm of speakers.

Ironic.

If a person can afford to throw that kind of money, he probably had the brains to earn that much wealth. $110k is probably $1 for such person. I would not call such a person idiot, if he has the brains and the knack to make that kind of money.

This way, we all would be idiots per the people who live on food stamps. Everyone has their life and choices.
