Wilson is not good for the money.

No I completely agree. I auditioned the Watt Puppies here at Music Lovers SF and they were very disappointing price/performance ratio. I much perferred however the Paradigm Signatures they had lined up :D
I was also impressed with the Signatures and I listened to them at Music Lovers also :D I was even more impressed with the Joseph Audios. I wasn't disappointed with the Puppies, but they are way over hyped and price vs what they can do just isn't justified IMO.

My speakers are +/-1.5dB over their range :eek:

Their speakers have worse measured performance than my Vandersteen 2Ce towers that have a suggested retail of $1200. The Wilson speakers look kinda cool, just not $20,000+ cool. Huge waste of money.

Now let's see how many flies I can catch.
They only work well with Audioquest cables worth 20k$ and this http://sumikoaudio.net/sme/prod_model3012.htm turntable worth 50k$ :eek::eek::eek:

In SF I had a chance to listen to them (I think it was 2003??) Watt/Poopy :eek: didn't impress me. They are ridiculously expensive but I guess there are a lot of people with more money than common sense.
Now - in all fairness the frequency response says only part of the story for a speaker BUT at the price the Wilson sell they should be flat like the NHT XD 2.2 :p
