Wilson Audio Haters

I don't think the look of some of the line would appeal to some people. For example ; the new WAMM. For me, I think it's a look of absolute beauty. I don't think others would like the look of a speaker that seems to be looking at the listener as the next meal, like a hungry Tyrannosaurus, but it works for me.

Ultimately it's the sonic characteristics that are the most important aspect of the speaker, and for me, the Wilsons do the job quite well.

@arafiq  I agree that the B&W's  get a lot of bashing as well, but I think the Wilsons get it more. Bye the way, I had an opportunity to audition the 800D3's and thought that they were a fine loudspeaker. They were actually on my consideration list a few weeks ago when I was looking at new speakers.

@dlcockrum Thanks for the compliment on my bike. Custom bikes are another obsession of mine :)

If I had no interest in bikes or HiFi gear I would be a wealthy man indeed LOL

@jmcgrogan2  Just wanted to be clear that I am by no means looking for others approval, I could care less what others think about my choices. I painted one of my Harleys pink, for example. How about that? HAHAHA

The reason for the post is that I have noticed over the years, even well before I owned Wilson, a trend towards slamming them and have been curious as to why. You make a valid point on pricing. I have never had the means to by new Wilsons, so I go after the used market and do quite well. You also hit the nail on the head mentioning proper gear upstream. Mostly with power. These are real bears to drive, and need lots of good power up front. I use a pair Bryston 28B STT2's so no issues there. They also keep my listening room nice an toasty warm in the winter months :)

@bo1972  Please refrain from calling other members "stupid" as you have done a number of times. Feel free to voice your opinion, but let others have their say, and respect their opinions as well. This is a discussion amongst gentlemen, not a lecture class in university.

That being said, I am a Canadian citizen, and travel across Europe every summer, during the month of June on a motorcycle adventure, with no particular destinations planed. I think that you are in South Eastern Europe, and I would like to meet with you, if possible to hear you back up your claims. No animosity BO, just an opportunity. Your call.

@blackfly I could not agree more with the comment on the absurdity of the WAMM pricing. Who in the real world will ever be able to seriously consider these? I am a happy Wilson owner, but by no means would ever be able to justify such a purchase (not that I have the means) I guess WAMM has a double meaning !! :) LOL

Bye the way, are you still using the S8 V2’s and Bryston

I recently sold my S8 V3’s

I have read that Wilson already has 25-26 pre-production orders !!

I'm not on that list LOL

Guess Dave gets a new Ferrari for X-MAS  :)

@dlcockrum 

YES Dave, I must present him with one of my customs. Fair trade for a new set of WAMMS. Damn, what was I thinking??? Perhaps you should come to work for me in sales !!!!

Wow. Darwinism? Creationism? Fabio?

Never dreamed the post would meander this far off stream.

WAIT !!!!  I think I just spotted Elvis........ Gotta run

Nice to see  @ bo1972 that you still are as empathetic as always with other peoples choices in gear. Always happy to hear what a good professional like yourself, with a completely open mind, has to say about other enthusiasts preferences. You are the BEST

@bo1972  You continually go on and on about PROOF of your magical mystery technique.

OK them, so where is this "proof"?

A direct response to the question would be appreciated.
