Looks to me like you're making a subjective interpretation.

Why don't  you quit trying to be so cryptic and say what you actually mean. Otherwise it's ALL open to interpretation..........

So we now have a speaker requiring a certain amp based on this amps ability to drive difficult loads instead of sonics? If this isnt enough to get buyers to avoid Wilson I dont know what could. Certainly this model at the very least.

I have no desire to own a Wilson Audio loudspeaker system. Never have, never will.

But...I do sense a bias on your part. I find a large amount of absurdity in the "audiophile" market. Much of it is a scam. I find the price tag of $300,000 for a loudspeaker system in the realm of absurdity. Call me a realist. Call me envious...I really don’t care. Some things just aren’t worth the price tag... this is one them.

This speaker is the equivalent of a concept car where the auto manufacturer pulls out all stops and builds a cost-no-object SOTA vehicle. The ultimate goal is to showcase the technological/engineering prowess of the company, and not necessarily turn it into a viable product.

But a SOTA speaker would not have such a terrible impedance. Obviously the designer was married to a group of drivers and a crossover design which they put together and lived with the resultant impedance. Bad engineering!
