Wilson Audio Haters

There is a reason why they are fatiguing, this is based on the fact of missing grip in a that particular frequency range.

The people who don’t like the things I write, are not able to handle the truth. Because thye do not want to read what I write.

This is your personal limitation. Read the Stereophile again and read the comparison between the Wilson Sabrina and the Pl-300. And why it is a better loudspeaker.

I would suggest to compare a Pl-500 with An Alexia. We will see if we can arrange it in 2017. I love shootout. Audio is all about the truth and not about a paid review.

The Sasha showed fatiguing in the high freq. many times. The Pl-200 II with the same music was flawless. This need to be demoed to the Wilson Audio people. Then I want to talk to them. This is how audio should be compared.

The people who react negative on my remarks own brands and products I made remarks of. The truth is difficult to handle sometimes.

In audio the best and most convincing sound will always win.

crazyeddy:   I still have the S8v2's but  sold the Bryston 14bsst a few years ago.  I happened upon a Luxman M 05 amp and the midrange liquidity and treble sweetness was to die for.  I got a second (selling the Bryston for half of what I got for it; got to love depreciation) and got another M 05 and have two running bridged.  Amazing setup.  I never liked the S8's after v2.  They got rid of the fixed pole piece in favour of a dust cap that was shaped like a waveguide which added mass.  Moreover, they made their bass speakers 3db louder by corrugating the surrounds for more travel; despite the fact the speakers are clearly designed to be used with subs, of which I have two.  Small point but the speakers are awesome.

And yes, the new Persona line looks really good, and it has gone up in price, but not to the extremes of the top end Wilsons, Magico et al....expensive but still within reach  (at least the 5F and 3F).  Add in subs (which most likely one has) and the combo would be killer.

But personally, I find Wilson offering a WAMM at $685k to be everything that is wrong.  If Dave Wilson were to make a REAL Magnum Opus, it would be the same speaker at a price less than the Alexandria, or XLF.  And don't be shocked by this one:  I bet Wilson will sell every one of the WAMMs they make.  Count on it.

It’s funny that one listener found Wilson speakers to produce an image too high. One thing I have always found lacking in the smaller Wilsons (the WATT/Puppy in particular) in their "knee to waist" image height. I don’t care for the view from the balcony---looking down on the performers, preferring to look up at the performers on stage as if from a floor seat. I like vocalist’s mouths to appear about 5’ from the floor, as they do in life. Low image height is a major obstacle for me in the goal of achieving the suspension-of-disbelief. I find line-source speakers and planars in general provide that better than do cones in boxes, generally speaking.

bo1972 - First of all I would like to thank you for posting such great, informative messages here. There are times when I have to read your posts at least thrice to fully comprehend the dimensions. At first I used to read them only twice, but then one day it dawned on me that I was really only getting 2 dimensional benefits. Now, I make an effort to read them three times, and I’m finally (I hope) getting all the dimensions. Thank you.

Omg... every time bo posts, it ruins the entire thread. 

It's like self-proclamation at its finest.  

Just make your own thread.  I'm so tired of seeing your posts.  It's the same trufi crap every time.  It's so tiresome.  

Thanks for ruining another thread and making it about you.
