Wilson Audio Haters


I've always wondered why there are so many people out there, that more than any other speaker manufacturer, really hate the Wilson line. I own Maxx 2's and also a pair of Watt Puppys. They are IMHO quite wonderful.

Why does Wilson get so much thrashing?

We compared the Esoteric K-01X with the Meridian 800daxv4 and 808 several times. The Meridians sounded much more analogue and had a much better individual focus of instruments and voices. The owner of the Esoteric had to admit that the Meridian sounded much more analogue. He also listened most of the time to his recordplayer.

You can modify it but still the dna you cannot change. Audio is all about shootout and comparison.

The Tannoy tweeter is not that special anymore at the time we live. We auditioned it several times and did not blend well with many loudspeakers.

I tested several silver PCs as well. I was not a fan of it. Jim Aud of Purist Audio has the same idea’s as I have. He only made one because people asked for it.

Silver loudspeakercables and interconnects is a whole different story.

You will hear and see it soon, trial and error will never be effective.
Each brand who makes sources has its own dna how it builds the stage. I also sold different modified Marantz sources.

What you cannot change is that it is a 2 dimensional source and it will stay like that also after a modification.

Even when you own speakers and amps who are able to build a 3 dimensional stage, the source needs this dna as well.

in 2015 I brought 2 brothers from a 2D stage to a 3D stage. They both owned Marantz sources. Shootouts proved these sources limited them in the stage of their system. So the Marantz sources had to go!
This was a BS test for you bo, and you failed miserably. "different modified Marantz sources" is not a MODWRIGHT-modified Marantz, Sony, or Oppo.

I am satisfied at this point that you are of the "only my sh!t doesn't stink" ilk and are to be ignored going forward.
