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

@daveyf
i have no problem with you, but you can certainly be a ’button pusher’ from time to time and push the envelope. and thus pay the price.

@4425
that forum Davey refers to is What’s Best Forum. and while i disagree on Davey’s moderator site ranking, i can agree that the WBF mods do have a few blind spots.

but honestly it’s the forum members who determine a forum culture. and if those members care about the forum and accept responsibility for what happens and self police, then the moderators are not relevant. THAT is what does happen on WBF, that certainly rarely happens here. and maybe Audiogon is too big and unwieldy at this point for the sort of sense of community that exists on WBF.

audiogon is all things to all people, which is unique among hifi forums i've seen. it covers a wider spectrum of enthusiasts. so it's just different. 

The state or the art would be the best designer with the best tools in the best facility using the best parts.  The final product would be manufactured to the tightest tolerances and have the best quality control.  Does Wilson employ the best designer?  Do they have the best tools or best facility for developing a state of the art product?  It seems really unlikely to me.  It seems far more likely that the appeal of Wilson is that of luxury products in general.  It's probably mostly about having something that others can't.  It's the pride of being better via personal possessions.  It doesn't make me angry, I'm just not interested.

@mikelavigne Thanks, I have no problem with you either, but you can also push buttons. Neither of us pushes buttons or has ability to push the envelope like the ‘guru’...and I know both of us wouldn’t get away with what he does on that site. Like I stated before, the guru has absolute impunity...we both know why. BTW, I have never...never..pushed anyone’s buttons, or the ‘envelope’ unless I have been pushed first...not once. OTOH, your tolerance level for the type of behavior at that site is far more than mine.( the mods having a few ‘blind spots’ does not work for me!)..is that a good thing?

ok @jon_5912

you've told us what Wilson Audio is not, but not made any case how or why you know that. 

if Wilson is not the most qualified to produce the top speaker, i assume you must know who is? enlighten us please. who might have more capable assets in place to surpass them?

do you actually know about state of the art speakers?

jon 5912.... if you’re not interested then why comment? 
wilson has the assets to create anything they want whether it meets your requirements or not. you’re not possessing knowledge but rather opinion. 
you’re also reeking of class envy which is not attractive.
