Wilson Audio Haters


I've always wondered why there are so many people out there, that more than any other speaker manufacturer, really hate the Wilson line. I own Maxx 2's and also a pair of Watt Puppys. They are IMHO quite wonderful.

Why does Wilson get so much thrashing?

i usually don’t respond to foolish comments in the forums but jon5912 gets an award for one of the worst I’ve seen in a while. He’s not a Wilson hater but rambles on about how loony their designs are while expressing himself to be a man of superior aesthetic sensibilities. 
Two things are obvious. He can’t afford them and he either hasn’t heard them all or doesn’t understand that the sum of all parts is what matters. 
I own a pair of Yvette’s that I find pleasing to look at while admiring their top shelf build.  I am mesmerized daily by their extraordinary musicality. I can’t speak to any other Wilson product but I’ve never considered the Yvette a product for people ‘with really bad taste’.
Your post sir, was in really bad taste and smells of class envy. 
“conspicuous consumption for people with really bad taste”
hmm. I would consider that a personal attack on a ton of people involved in this hobby.
bad taste is relative of course but high end audio reeks of conspicuous consumption. I often feel guilty for what I’ve spent until I turn it on. 
not offended at all as for my personal desires the Yvette hits the spot. might not for someone else.
no more to say on this topic.
