Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo


What a bargain, still bet they sound great with the right amp up them, looking at that impedance/phase angle graph.

XVX is a very demanding load, with EPDR less than 1.1 ohms between 52Hz and 66Hz and between 197Hz and 287Hz, with minimum values of 0.91 ohms at 450Hz and 0.94 ohms at 3250Hz. The Chronosonic XVX should be used with amplifiers that don't have problems driving loads of 2 ohms and lower.

Now, these tall speakers, they could NOT be because Jim Winey figured out speakers in the 1970's could it?

NAW!  Who would think such a thing!

If a pair of the latest Magnepan speakers does not satisfy you IN YOUR ROOM, buy a box of something else and suffer.

Otherwise, enter the world of music and purchase Magneplaners and then concentrate on the MUSIC. 

Remember, you heard it here (or hear...!).

Cheers!
Hopefully that includes choice of finish, delivery and setup.
that’s just nuts for a pair of speakers if you can’t get a great speaker for under $75k  then something is seriously wrong with Audio. Sometimes I feel that it’s just way overkill with many of 
These companies. If you can afford it then go for it .
but diminishing returns come into play at a much greater amount .
Maybe 5% better for double the money . 
I dont know why people think that speakers are more important than acoustic control....

It is like thinking that  the best boat in the world without rudder is useful....


I know....

It is because acoustic control ask for thinking and some study....

Speakers are affordable with money , no need to work for understanding a room, but beware to the illusion they will sound good in a bad room.... Perhaps.... at this price it is possible that acoustic was less impactful.... But i doubt it..... Anyway i own 50 bucks "relatively good speakers" and i dont need any other one in my small room...

The test is simple..... If the sound fill the room and sometimes if the voices comes from your back it is good.... The timbre must be natural for sure.....

Classic Audio T1.5 would be a better investment (Wallet), better musical satisfaction and joy over these Wilson anyway.

OTL with Field Coils Horns will have less distortion, more speed, transparency blah blah blah at much less. These overpriced speakers need to pay for overhyped advertising costs.
