WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?


Are Wilsons the best? are they worth the money? Looking at used watt puppy 8 or Sophia 3.

Weather Maxx 2 or not, all I’m saying is that you should give a listen that’s all. After you hear them, you will be spoiled. There are a few 1 and 2 out there. The 3 is a completely different animal. It sounds slightly better and I do mean slightly better. I have the 3’s as well. That is a completely different price range. You will find them for $30,000 to $35,000. Both of mine are not for sale. My 1’s are converted to Maxx 2. It was the last year before switching to Maxx 2. The change was the the tweeters and the resistors from 1 to 2. Easy to do. My Maxx 3’s are still 3’s. Best of luck on your choices.
The Wilson Maxx speakers blow the Sophia and Watt Puppy 8’s away. A completely different league.
Jeffvegas,

where do you live approximately? I have a pair of Wilson Maxx speakers converted to Maxx 2’d and I still have the original tweeters for the Maxx.
I used a 1000sq ft. Apartment in NOLA a few years ago and they sound amazing. Believe it or not, your footprint is almost the same. The Maxx speakers can angle perfectly to the seating position you want VS the others don’t do as well. Why hear some of the visit when you can hear it all. You will always chase around speakers until you realize what you are missing. Also by no means the Wilson Maxx are layback sound by the way. There bass will knock you off of your feet. I’m happy to give you a demonstration if you like. I’m in the LA Area 
Oh, I forgot to ask you. Not sure if anyone had asked. What equipment are you using? Like any other speakers out there, the equipment needs to work well with the speakers. 
No worries thecarpathian. I appreciate what you said. At the end of the day, I’m happy with my systems as I’m sure you and others are with yours. Jeffvegas is the one asking for help, and started this thread not you or I. You can lead the horse to the well but you can’t make them drink, lol. At the end of the day, let him figure it out on his own. Based on his comments and supposedly asking for help. He doesn’t need any. Why start a thread when he apparently took positive questions that was design in hopes to give him some good ideas that could help him make a better decision, not tell him what to do (only respectable advice) but instead, It’s basically a washout and we can move on to folks who truly do want advice from people who have had experience with specific products.
