Wilsons are the best speakers in the world


Hmm..
I don't think so.
For some reason many electronics manufacturers use them for shows. Why is that?

In my experience, people who have good hearing do not hear differently but they might have different preferances and they might have different tolerance for distortion. For example, I don't have much tolerance for high frequencies distortion, some of mid and low are okay. I have a musician friend whoes hearing is better than mine but not different. He prefers the sound of panel speakers, I don't. But, he listens to mostly classical, and I don't listen to classical, only some neo-classical. 
It would be interesting to compare all MBL and all Gryphon systems. I think, Flemming of Gryphon recently came up with some monster $350k speakers. And his amps..well, everyone knows.
Right. Then both Lamm and Ypsilon should know that they might also lose part of their potential market, people with both money and ears. Frankly, I don't understand their problem, anyway, if they have it. They should be able to sell everything they make without leaving their offices. They are just showing off and socializing.
I don't dislike Wilsons, and if they were lousy speakers both Lamm and Ypsilon would pay zero attention to them.
Wilsons are popular speakers, and most buyers - I suspect- are not audiophiles but music lovers. They work for them just fine.
There is a pair of Marten Coltrane for $66.7k obo from the Netherlands, no need for $120k.
How do they sound? I have no idea and never heard them. They are Swedish, right?
Also, anyone heard big Gryphon speakers? Considering his amps, they should not be bad.
Nah, Queen is better with Iranian ancestry singer.
Problem is that they are unlikely to believe that about Wilsons. I got an idea. Why don't I ask Vladimir of Lamm and Dimitris of Ypsilon? Well, I can ask, question is can they answer? I doubt it, seriously doubt it. Vladimir is fond of Kharma speakers, don't ask me how I know it, but I do. Dimitris really likes Lansche. I share their taste. They do demo with Kharma and Lansche respectively but not always. There is so much of the usual BS in High-End.
To anticipate one kind of argument. First listen to Lamm/Wilson system and then Lamm/Kharma system.
