"Why do you think he has so many Wilson’s ? People don’t keep them . "
Sad. It’s a shame really when people make generalizations like the above and try to spread disinformation. I don’t know how many speakers Wilson Audio has made over the years and I wouldn’t try to speculate, but I’m sure it is more than a few dozen. I know I have seen more than a few dozen Wilson Audio speakers myself over the years.
As a Wilson Audio speaker owner I will state with experience on my side that Wilson Audio speakers are a great addition to a stereo rig. When my speakers stop giving me goosebumps and reproducing music that moves me emotionally, I’ll let you all know that I am moving on. I don’t see that happening- ever. I’ve been around the block and I have found my stereo home.
Yes, it is true: Wilson Audio speakers require patience and skill to set up properly in a room. They also require- demand actually, the best in electronics and cabling. If someone buys a pair of WA speakers and stops short on good cabling and electronics then they will likely not be entirely satisfied with the sound. They are not the speaker to buy to make up for shortcomings further up the audio chain. WA speakers are like clear windows back to the source material. Now, don’t take that to mean I can play only audiophile recordings. That is not true. 60’s and 70’s rock sounds amazing. The bass, the clarity comes through making an emotional connection to the music. It is a matter of getting the room and the system components working together with the speakers. If I were to play you, "Ain't no Sunshine when She's Gone" and your eyes don't get wet, well you likely aren't alive.
I had a pair of Thiels before the WA speakers. What I learned from getting the system set up and working with my new speakers could have been applied to my Thiels. Almost didn’t want to sell the Thiels after I learned so much; but the WA speakers still do several things better.
