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've only heard Wilsons in dealers' showrooms.  They have always been playing percussive jazz at high volumes, and the effect was hard and fatiguing, making me want to exit the room a.s.a.p. rather than stay and listen.

That, combined with the price of admission to most of the models, makes them--to me--utterly irrelevant.

Having said that, the Sabrina looks interesting and promising.

Hopefully, the multiple Stereophile recommendations will cause people to buy them up, and then a couple of years from now some will tire of them and pass them on, at which point I might look at them seriously.
