Cytocycle and bigjoe,
Now thats funny ! My undergraduate was in economics. I spent time in sales. Now I am anethesiologist having trained at one the the finest U.S. programs. 11 years into private practice and dealing with the business of medicine on a day to day basis after having seriously studied world economics I doubt that you can teach me much about healthcare economics OR capitalism.
Ordinarily I don't mind manufacturers imposing a special "tax" on rich people seeking what we euphamisticly call "pride of ownership". In this forum ,however, I was trying to point out that Wilsons price is way above any sane intrinsic valuation and that better can be had for much less because I thought it might be HELPFULL to someone. Bigjoe - My "system" includes Wilson-Benesch Chimera speakers(burled walnut) $23,800 retail , Gryphon Antileon signature amp $24,000 retail, CJ 16s2 pre $8500 (soon to be Act 2 14'000 retail) hardly a "chinese integrated" from ebay. I chose these because I loved them.Other than the CJ there was precious little marketing and no reviews to "guide" me. As an aside, these are all real manufacturers. Also, as an aside, I think the tone of this discussion (calling people you disagree with socialists or denigrating their gear when you have NO KNOWLEDGE of either) is beneath us .I for one am here to help and to learn -period. If I have offended any I am sorry - Jim
Matrix, I am afraid that the Wilson speakers are not made from wood, but from a resinesque X material. I am also afraid that if you burned them, you might get poisoned from the off gassing of the X material.
Okay, here are distortion measurements for Wilson.
