I've listened to Wilsons on numerous occasions and while I enjoyed their sound most of the time I could never get past their looks. I do kinda like the 'Summer' combination of red and black on these.

| While Wilson speakers are not for everyone, they do hold a place for the high-end community. Small bookshelves start at 10k going right up to the WAMM Chronosonic at 685k Which is on a par with MBL 101 X-etreme 550k and Magico M9 800k Wilson are notoriously hard to drive,due to there 4ohm wiring configuration, so requiring large output amplification, D'Agostino Relentless , Boulder 3050 mono-blocks, Gryphon Mephisto, or there newly released Apex. But if you can afford that sort of money and you have the room, Go for it. Check my avatar for the 1.5 million MBL system . And for the record the WAMM are on back order, for buyers in Singapore and the Middle East , as are Magico. And if they didn't sell, they would not produce them. |

Sounds cheaper to just get a penis transplant.

Any speaker I have ever heard from Wilson, I have rated poorly and some just awful
The advertizing copy bumming their load is a real codswallop job, from the back of the necks of a bunch of overpaid marketers.
I think the prospects of that speaker being any good are slim to none.
The bottom line is that I have never heard a speaker from Wilson that comes in striking distance of what I am used to.

The Speaker Shoppe on Main St in Buffalo had a pair of Alexx V's. $145k was the price.

| I think the bottom line with Wilson is getting the amplification right, they won't operate to there full potential with just any amp. I think if you view the Youtube channel and type in "Jays Audio Lab." you will find he's done a lot of work with Wilsons amplification. Just ignore some of his crap, that's just him. |

Ooh full potential. Which still likely isn't saying much after you spend that much money and could have done far better with other stuff....

I have heard worse speakers, but Wilsons do not justify their price, obviously. No sound system could at that price, unless you were outfitting a stadium. But of course, Wilson has nothing to do with sound reproduction, they are purely a status symbol. They are decadent garbage.

Oh common Shady!! Where else can you spend that much money for some of the worst and ragged frequency responses ever marketed?
And the elegant design must have been copied from the movie Robots.

Dont drink Wilson's KoolAid. No amount of power is going to overcome their shite frequency response.

Man is it just me or are those speakers just butt ugly?

They are very ugly, which likely matches their sound.

Oddly I've been to many Wilson demos at trade shows and share similar sentiments as you. I guess at the end of the day, they look cool and you need a fancy expensive speaker to go with your exotic $30k speaker wires
