Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound

I find the Wilson towers all very analytical. Almost Teutonic. Cold may be a bit strong but definitely not warm. Recently I listened to a set of Alexx Vs driven by  Burmister mono blocks and preamp. The front end was digital- Aurender. I listened to Brothers In Arms by Dire Straights. It almost snowed in the listening room! It was NOT what I thought $350,000 in gear should deliver. 

The Raidho and Borrenson are very accurate but not musical.  I found Magicos kind of plain and boring.  I expected more from the TADs based on all the hype.  The Vandersteen Seven XTRM sound good.  I also really like the Acora speakers.  If I had an Acora dealer within a reasonable distance I might have given them more consideration.  Heard a pair of horn speakers by Volti Audio in Tennessee.  Excellent sounding speakers that drew me into the music.  They required some very expensive SET amps to sound their best.

I find Wilson speakers to be excellent performers for several types of music.  Set-up of the speakers is critical to get the best sound.  Those who are obsessed about the dollars might be better served watching for a sale at Best Buy. 

I demoed the Wilsons multiple times with different set ups and I just never resonated or liked the sound that much for some reason. I always sat there thinking not much of it, especially for the $. Their build and paintwork is quite amazing though.

I moved on to the Focal Scala Evos and they are absolutely wonderful...

Does anybody have info about the return of the WATT/Puppy?

@yesiam_a_pirate , you had me at $350,000.  Both are magnificent speakers I'm sure.  But people hear things with the price tag in mind.
