The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.

fatparrot:

i agree with you. i just can't listen to cone speakers too long, without wanting to walk out of the room.

i have been listening to quads for so many years that my ears are not receceptive to cones, or horns

boom boom tizz, boom boom tizz, we will, we will, rock you!

I have never heard Wilson speakers, but I am shocked as to how many people are saying how Bad they sound. I had heard that they were among the best. BTW, those Wilsons that sell for six figures better NOT sound bad....

Just my $0.02: The associated gear can make a world of difference here, as can the acoustic environment. I've heard Thiels sound like crap, but I've also heard them sound wonderful. Likewise for Wilson. At one HE show, Von Schweikert was demoing the VR4jr, and the sound was just OK with a DK Designs integrated. Down the hall, Moscode was using the same speaker to demo their tube-hybrid amp and the sound was fantastic.

I think its something like lets hit on the big guy here, I am not a fan of Wilson Audio, but I will take a pair of Wilsons any day over any Bose speakers....and sell them!!!
