A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx

even though its very refreshing to finally see a high end manufacturer get slammed instead of the usual audiophile ebonic a$$ kissing the review reeks of ulterior motives to me.

the review looks like a jealous reviewer trying to get back at wilson for not buying a review in his magazine more than it looks like a review of how the speakers actually sound or perform.

looks more like a hissy fit than a review to me.

i wasnt refering to you in particular with the ebay rig but since you brought it up there are alot of guys on this site who contribute nothing except to jump in & bash other guys gear & its always the same,no feedback,no system pics,no threads of their own,only answers to questions about gear they dont own.

there are also a few who feel the best way they can contribute here is to tell us about their education kinda like a peacock struttin around showing everybody in sight just how cool his feathers are.

call me an uneducated moron but i still dont get where your going with all of this.

everybodies rippin on wilson for supposedly taking advantage of people by using kit drivers & over charging customers but the plain truth is if these speakers didnt sound good to buyers then they would not buy them.

im sure there are some buyers who buy them for status symbols but there are also alot of other guys who have pinched pennies (like me) & saved their asses off to be able to afford them & these types of buyers dont buy for status they buy what they liked the sound of & what they think will sound best in their rigs.

hell 100% of the gear i run has been completely dismissed by the elite audophile population as being unresolving & over priced but i surely didnt spend that kinda cash to impress anybody, i bought what i liked the sound from & im sure there are plenty of wilson owners who did the same.

people who listen to ANY reviewer without ever hearing the gear in question in their own home & start making decisions as to what sounds bad or is priced to high is a fool,the same can be said for people who say all kinds of things (good & bad) based on what they have heard at dealers,if you have not heard these things in your own home then you are not qualified to give them a review!

whenever i see people rippin apart uber $$$ high end gear i always get the same mental pic in my head of a guy sitting in front of a chineese made $400 intergrated tube amp from ebay hooked up to altec 14's thinking he has found all the answers.

has anybody else ever noticed that most of the gear bashers never post a pic of anything they own or listen to?
