The only reason I clicked on this is that Magico and Wilson are not remotely in the same league. I cancelled my Absolute Trash subscription because the foist Magico on people who presumably can't listen for themselves. Aluminum is probably the worst possible material to make a speaker cabinet from. It is impossible to damp. Anyways, I heard the XVXs yesterday. They are stunningly good! as with each Wilson speaker, there are improvements over the WAMMs - the best speakers in the world. They have newer capacitor designs, possible since acquiring Relcaps. They have a newer midrange driver. paired with a Vivaldi stack, Boulder Pre and power amp and of course Transparent cables, the speakers truly did not exist. Piano sounded as close to real as I have ever heard, and low organ notes were earthshaking!
Better than Magico and Wilson audio?
Couldn't you just outdo a Magico by making a cabinet out of brick, stuffing a bit of fibreglass in there and putting your accutons on the front? This would also cost a fraction of the cost of a Magico.
Do people enjoy wasting their money or do people care more about the appearance of a speaker than the way it sounds?
Why pay so much more when you can have it for far less?
