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.

First and foremost, Wilsons are a ugly Godforsaken eyesore. I have had them when i didn't know any better and have been glad to be rid of them. If you can get over the hospital machine look/ butt ugliness of them, they are really not that special and very clicky with electronics. If you had a keen ear, you will need to go through a lot of work to make them sound just ok! They are very dynamic, but, that alone simply doesn't cut it for me. There are a handful of other attributes they lack.  

I never missed them for a second after i got into engineering masterpieces such as TADs and Von Schweikerts that punch a Wilson down the drain anyday. 

@inna , Kharma eh? LOL, i rest my case. Why don’t slap your Klipsch instead? Hee Haw  LOL
Oh wait!!! LOL, ROFL, LMFAO
Our Klipschieflipshie ruffrider ruffriding (Heeee Hawwww) with a 100 dollar receiver all the way to the Ted Nugent/Kid Rock hall of fame doesn’t sound like he’s heard or had the Adante. I guess he also doesn’t quite understand the intricacies of the coupled cavity design variant.

Let us try to educate him a li’l bit with this crutchfield/AJones interview.

@mofojo , If you’ve got the S-1EX, you should try to get your hands on his Elac Adante as well. It is God like when you pair it with some Pass, Luxman, etc. It retailed for 5k and can be had for much cheaper (steal of the century). The S-1EX was my intro to Andrew’s sound. I still curse the day i let it go when i picked up the TAD E1TXK and have been looking to buy it back for a while.

There’s a guy out here who thinks Andrew Overlord Jones is stupid!!! What chance do mortals have anymore... I guess he also doesn’t realize that Andrew has been out of TAD for a while and it is the Japanese engineers (who Andrew himself continues to praise as the best engineers on planet Earth) who're heading the newer ones.

Guy must be ruff riding a Klipschieflipshie ("Heee Hawww" LOL )
