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

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. 

I myself wouldn’t own a speaker with the midrange driver wired in polarity opposite the woofers and tweeters, no matter the price. But that’s just me. I also don’t care for redheads.

Has anyone ever heard one of these Wilson's in a system and it sounded really good? Just curious. Because I never have. Not that I blame the speakers. Everything matters. But it sure is odd that I have heard great systems with lots of other speakers, but never with Wilson's. It also seems, now that I think about it, every one of those Wilson systems was presented with a very obvious air of snooty better-than-you-ness. Just sayin. 

But seriously. Anyone? Beuller?

I've not heard these speakers. I generally have a favorable opinion of Wilsons, but the position of the tweeter bothers me ergonomically.

I feel like I'll have to keep lifting my head up to hear them correctly.

Am I mistaken??
