Looking for a new speaker. Wilson Maxx II ??

For what it is worth,Raul has a very good point,regarding the monitor/twin sub configuration.Now,the monitors can be set up indepently from the subs.A very good thing!

Unfortunately,the industry,in the quest to sell higher priced product,has opted for the "All in one box" syndrome,which,as Raul is aware of,is a detriment to correct sound,in a home environment.Unless you live in Madison Square Garden!!I've heard a ton of them!

In reality,the one box mega systems,are a disappointment,if we can break free of the "Hype" thrown at us ,and really listen to some alternative set-ups.

What Raul proposes is to free the monitor(midbass/lower midrange),and position it out into the room,with the ability to deliver proper imaging.The sub/subs(room dependent,whether one or two,though one is more "ideal")can then be deployed,taking full advantage of correct low freq weight,and integration.

Once a set-up like this is properly done,it is "More" than competitive with the "Usually overpriced" big-rigs!!

A thinking music lover can put together a superb set-up in todays market,of plentiful products.Best regards.

Are Wilson speakers in general only suited to near field listening or can they be successfullly used in a more farfield configuration?. I an talking about Sophia, WP7 or Maxx speakers.

What are Vr-8's ??? I looked at the VS web site and no such speaker exists. The series goes from the VR-7 to the VR-9 to VR-11??? What am I missing?

The WP7s have been considered one of the best sound at HiFI shows. In some of these shows the speaker listenere distance was in the far field but a good 15 or 20 feet at least. I heard it myself & purchases them from one show in specific. I duplicated the entire system. I Hope this helps.

Wilsons sound great in the far-field. They throw an amazing soundstage
