knghifi,
I submit there are many reasons besides sound that a company can have a large market share in highend audio...marketing and wide distribution are two reasons that I think contribute to a company having a larger market share
Wilson dealers don't just carry Wilson but many different brands.   So the fact they chose Wilson, I THINK they like the sound?

Several weeks ago I heard Wilson Sabrina at a dealer and with the RIGHT electronics, it was excellent.
System synergy, as so often pointed out in these forums, is key--in addition to the particular sonic proclivities and preferences of the listener. I have Sashas driven by MF NuVista 800 with Transparent cabling. The sound is beautiful--I literally  listen daily for many hours on end without fatigue. Definitely no high end "stridency" etc. the highs sound natural and beautiful.  I just wish I had the time to listen even more! They sound real. I've listened to Wilsons (I have owned Sophias and Sashas; heard Alexandrias, Maxx, Alexia), B&W (owned 804s and had extensive in home audition of 802s), Maggies, Harbeths, Dalis, Sonus Fabers, Linns, Vienna Acoustics. There are things I liked about most all of those. But the Wilsons were, to my ears, the best and most real sounding. But I've always heard them being fed with a lot of power.

If anyone says Wilsons have harsh highs, they need to look seriously at their amps preamps or source for the problem.

As Wilson highs are about the only one of a couple dynamic driver top ends that I can listen to and still like compared to my ESL’s, or when I can leave my windows open to get rid of the ozone gas, my Plasma tweeters.
