Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars

it’s tiring that every Wilson thread brings out class envy which has become so prevalent in our culture.

not equally on every forum. it is particularly prevalent (and tiring) here. on some forums it's chill enough that Wilson Audio participates. would never work here.

forums and the 'vibe' come in all shapes and sizes. no right or wrong to this.

If you mean pretentious dealers, I'm with you.  :-D

But lets not ignore the opposite is also true: Snobbery.  The belief that money = quality and that certain brands and only those brands can prove my audiophile credentials.

They look like something out of an “Iron Man” movie.

eric.. can’t argue with your comment. snobbery is unacceptable at any level and it’s been a problem with some dealers but they pay a price,  which they may not even be aware of. an audiophile that’s a snob is just a jerk.
