I own Wilsons-and love em. No other speaker is for me. With that disclaimer...
The OP seems to be transferring Alon's statement based on his speaker methodology (..."would not work for him b/c the crossover...") to Wilson's methodology. Wilson take this into account and his crossovers are specifically designed for the Aspherical Prop. Delay. It's a system.
Alon was talking about "his system" He makes good speakers to! Just in a different way...
Buconero117-sorry in advance here. But, ok well you forgot "successful" in your biz model quip...So if others can make wilsons for one 10th the price, why haven't they? I'd gladly buy Alexandria X2's for 1/10th the price-assuming the same performance level. Maybe the sum of the parts is greater than you may think? I always find it odd when folks attack Wilson for their business model. If you don't like the sound of their speakers, that's your opinion and your certainly entitled to it.
Their business model seems to be a success and that's why they sell and win awards... we all want successful business models in the high end because that funds r&d for better products down the road. And, at least in the USA, provides jobs, benefits and profits. Therefore helping our economy and our gov't with more taxpayers...I don't think this is a "guy thing" But this is just my opinion I guess...
