OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE


It seems thay many of us (including myself) have been a little too caught up in personal attacks/defenses of Wilson speakers. What we really need is an honest first hand assesment of WP 7,Max2,X2 vs high end alternative selling for less-much less. So here is my challenge : I will haul my Wilson Benesch Chimeras ( 20k plain,24k as finished in burled walnut) a reasonable distance from my home near Atlanta to hook up to YOUR system in YOUR room to compare to YOUR wp7,max,x2's. Only caveat is my speakers are less efficient (88 db) so have lots of power for fair comparison. Comparison is for: accuracy , musicality, enjoyment,value and anything else YOU want. Just be willing to be HONEST in your assesment. You have MY word that I will admit it on this forum if I am wrong and will bow down to Wilson if they earn my respect in direct comparison to my beloved WB's. I believe that even in a system optimized for Wilsons you will the beauty of a high end less costly alternative. - Jim

Well slap me sideways! I stand corrected. Nice to hear from you, Howard, I hope things are well.
I have nothing bad to say about Wilson speakers. I will say I found B&W speakers to be more detailed and interesting to listen to. Also less costly. I have found the JM Labs with be tweaters to have great highs. Butt, they lack base in lower priced models. I found B&W to be a much better speakers across the price line. B&W 800 are 20k a pair JM Grands are 80K per pair.
