Flawed, yes. Its a business model thing. Think about it, the bigger the 'boxes', the higher the price you charge. The 'effect' of Wilson speakers can be purchased at one tenth the price they charge. Wilson prides itself on a bigger is better approach. It is a guy thing.
Flawed? Wilson's Aspherical Propagation Delay
Greetings,
I've always wondered about this...
Recently I read an interview with Alon Wolf who stated that separating drivers into boxes that are adjustable would not work for him because the crossover would need to be reworked or adjusted.
Wilson is proud of their adjustable cabinets in their upper models, but I'm wondering how, in technical terms, they avoid phase and time errors and as Alon pointed out, how the crossover deals with the drivers in different locations and different angles?
I've heard Wilsons set up before and there is a distinct advantage to the adjustable enclosures when they are setup optimally for the listener's height and distance from the loudspeakers, but is there a shortcoming or compromise in doing so?
