13 year old thread. I appreciate the care Wilson uses at shows. I've never heard a bad demo! on the other hand I've seen KEF setup the Blades in the middle of a loud open floor space and drive their speakers with budget components, as if they were on the shelf at a best buy competing with rack systems. I can put my speakers 3-4' away from any reflective surface and still have an 8-9' listening triangle and when I do that any decent speaker sounds amazing, it's not until I try to make speakers fit into the room that some sound better than others.
