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?

Definitely a taste regarding their looks. There is something intimidating and robot-like in their appearance. I especially dislike the big ones in bright colors like orange or yellow. 

I will ask once more...What is the connection between the "emotional" reproduction of music, and that reproduction being perceived as "3D". I would submit that timing, timbre and dynamics have everything to do with the communication of emotions in music, and the perception of space is a distant fourth.
Besides that, if I may say respectfully, 3 dimensionality is only one aspect of an audio system, and many of us don't place much value on it.
