Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo


What a bargain, still bet they sound great with the right amp up them, looking at that impedance/phase angle graph.

XVX is a very demanding load, with EPDR less than 1.1 ohms between 52Hz and 66Hz and between 197Hz and 287Hz, with minimum values of 0.91 ohms at 450Hz and 0.94 ohms at 3250Hz. The Chronosonic XVX should be used with amplifiers that don't have problems driving loads of 2 ohms and lower.

I dont know why people think that speakers are more important than acoustic control....

It is like thinking that  the best boat in the world without rudder is useful....


I know....

It is because acoustic control ask for thinking and some study....

Speakers are affordable with money , no need to work for understanding a room, but beware to the illusion they will sound good in a bad room.... Perhaps.... at this price it is possible that acoustic was less impactful.... But i doubt it..... Anyway i own 50 bucks "relatively good speakers" and i dont need any other one in my small room...

The test is simple..... If the sound fill the room and sometimes if the voices comes from your back it is good.... The timbre must be natural for sure.....

This is where we go paying to ignore room acoustic controls...

I dont doubt they are good speakers at all, who knows, the best in the world maybe.......

At this price takes a 10,000 bucks speakers well designed and put them in a well acoustically controlled room...

After that take this 300,000 dollars speakers put them in an another vast uncontrolled empty room...

Compare the 2....

Previsible conclusion: the best will be those in a controlled room...
Then dont pay too much...Pay attention to physical basic acoustic but more importantly also to pychoacoustic.... And enjoy the true audiophile experience at low cost....






Now i can say to you that i succeed in controlling my own room at no cost....

Basic psychoacoustic is the golden key....

my well chosen speakers value are peanuts and i dont need anything else thanks to basic acoustic and psychoacoustic...


My post is here to only give hope to all those who cannot afford this costly piece of engineering.... Trust you ears and read about acoustic and psychoacoustic....
