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?

The funny thing is many people on Audiogon are like bo, "opinionated ". No everyone doesn't write like bo or talk about 2d vs 3d, but many, many people are just as passionate about their preferences.
clearthink,
I wonder if some of us become Bo`s client`s, do we all start to think and write exactly same way as Bo?

He is being generous by contributing here to share his knowledge about Tru-Fi and the way it can be applied using properties to music reproduction systems and installations. 
Sadly we have not heard a word about how he measures and applies this magical Tru-Fu spell...


And now his clear thinking disciple named clearthink shows up.  Its like a B movie. 
Wow...have only loosely followed Bo's confused ramblings in the past and with mild amusement. Also have occasionally seen some accuse others in these pages of folks posting under false user ID's...can't recollect ever feeling like they might have been anything more than 'witch hunts' (a we-accuse-you-of-that because-we-can, personal feud kind of thing)...but This... IMO, I'm afraid Clearthink is revealing himself to be, in fact, Bo. Dunno if Bo has ever done anything like this before, and it doesn't matter here really, since the evidence here in my opinion is apparent, blatant I might say for anyone who has eyes to see it (and yes, I know that's just my opinion). Normally I don't resort to accusing people of things I know I can't "prove", but this IS a public forum and I think Bo, for me, has just crossed a line...used to think of him as deranged but harmless - not anymore. I now believe he's revealing himself to be a liar, someone of questionable ethics and someone that is not to be trusted.

I think this is the kind of thing the community should not necessarily turn a blind eye toward. Wherever suspicion is evident it should at least be pointed out and recognized and not willingly hidden under the the guise of the fact (and it indeed is a fact at the moment) that this accusation cannot be directly proven...otherwise we are not policing ourselves, despite Bo's implied right (on our soil) to be assumed innocent until proven guilty. But, rightly or wrongly (maybe time will tell) I'm just going on record here and saying that I think that it appears that Bo is being intentionally deceitful here. Like I say, it may not be something that I can prove, but that does not mean that this event, topic or my opinion should not be discussed and I'm willing to do so. This has nothing IMO to do with audio. I know this threatens to hijack the thread for which I apologize in advance, but this may be something of an exceptional circumstance.
It seems evident to me that Clearthink's excellent command of the English language indicates that he is not Bo. However, regarding Clearthink's statement that:
He is being generous by contributing here to share his knowledge about Tru-Fi and the way it can be applied using properties to music reproduction systems and installations.
... as far as I can recall, having read many of Bo's posts, he has never provided definitions of Tru-Fi or what he refers to as "properties" that are specific enough to be of any practical usefulness.
