What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?

@pindac 

I thought if one “punted” on something, they actually took a pass on it, or didn’t do it. What exactly is a “punt purchase”? It’s obvious from your post that English is a second language, but I’m curious to know what this means. Thx

I am glad he likes them, Really I am. 

Define better… speakers he likes more? Maybe nothing, speakers that measure and sound more accurate…. Lots of stuff  

I have never heard them so just speculation on my end. But honestly I don’t get the design? 4 ways are to keep the driver behaving in their ideal range and not out of band but the measurements show serious resonances and or strong defraction.

In the wilson family I personally would have chosen the Alexx V with a wilson sub controller to high pass and two subs tuned to the room. Wilson’s own subs or something like duel Gothams and let them work their room correction magic. The room/bass interaction is the final frontier.

I heard the Wilson’s and later heard the LIPINSKI L700E Signature in the same room. Your amplification is already included with the Lipinski. The Wilson didn’t have a chance in this competition, my opinion of course. 

only heard the XVX once at Axpona and it was crap, a mess, with D'Agostino Relentless amps. it did look impressive.

i just assumed it was the room and set-up and don't hold the speakers or electronics accountable at all for the sound. maybe by the last day of the show it had improved, but i never returned to that room.

rooms at shows should only be used for positive perceptions regarding gear.

Yes.
