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

I like the looks of the speaker. But at this price I would think you could find a speaker which would work properly with more than a few amps. You cant escape the fact that low impedance speakers make amps work too hard. 

 @audition__audio  More than likely the dealer who is selling the Wilson's is also selling the D'Ag Relentless amps...and as such he can now make two sales. I wouldn't think that the big D'ag would break too much of a sweat on the new Wilsons. 

I would think if you were buying these speakers you would just purchase whatever amplification makes them sound good... what, we are worried the owner can only afford a Rotel or NAD.

 These speakers would present no impedance problem. But, you would have to understand the state of amplification in the industry today to know that. 

Some audiophiles cannot separate personal fiscal policy, or revulsion to excess, from actual performance. I would guess that applies perhaps half the community. 

Before reviewing, when I had no real clue of the performance spectrum of HiFi systems, when I was assembling about $5K rigs, I thought all such items were ludicrous and vastly overpriced; no way they could be worth anything approaching the price. After 14 years of reviewing and hearing some of the best gear in the world, my experience of the spectrum of performance is radically different. My ownership of gear has changed, too, based on one thing - performance. I judge first on performance, then on value, which is probably the opposite of most audiophiles. It is common, however, to judge based on perceived value, as if that is a judgment of performance. Building a rig to a price point is a different activity with different outcome (not that great, despite personal opinion) than building a rig to achieve a performance level.   :)

Exactly.
