Wilson Audio Haters

Bo, it's not like you invented fire.  Those of us who are old enough to have been around high end audio for 40+ years have been aware of 3 dimensionality in the sound stage for ages.  You just now discovered it.  Good for you.  But it is pretty delusional of you to think you have discovered a secret and  you somehow possess knowledge that is unique.  Congratulations on your discovery.  Most of us have known it all along; we just didn't feel the need to beat others over the head with it.

Our heads thank you.

Besides that, if I may say respectfully, 3 dimensionality is only one aspect of an audio system, and many of us don't place much value on it.

Where I think Bo reveals his hubris is the claim:

It has nothing to do with a personal taste. People in audio think and believe the best way of creating an audio system is based on personal preference.

Really, this whole hobby is about preference, isn’t it? Yes, there are objective measurements and observations that we can make. But even the best audio system is just an imitation of the real thing, so some kinds of trade-offs have to be made along the way.

The preferences never end ... from choosing formats to taste in music, from deciding what’s reasonable to spend to deciding how much time we’re willing to commit to maintenance and tweaking. The notion that any one person can decide what’s best for me or you - especially in an internet forum with people we can’t possibly know - is just beyond silly.

Frankly, no matter the context: I don’t trust self-proclaimed gurus. That’s rarely where knowledge is found, ime. Some of the most knowledgeable people here are the most patient and polite.

Cleeds, 
Excellent comments! Wise, concise and profound in their truthfulness.
