Yes I agree with you. There seems to be some commonality between many of the very expensive floor standers in not only impedance but also in the material used to make the drivers. I am considering getting 250W transformer coupled tube monos to explore the possibility that I can work around some of the limiting factors with hard to drive speakers and tubes. Beating the speakers into submission with lots of tube power. I would love to explore S.S., but the only amps of this type I can listen to are all over $ 50K, except perhaps for the Trilogy amps.
Thanks for discussing and not taking a more aggressive approach. Notice I have never said Wilson made bad speakers.
