WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?

I spent the last year listening to bookshelf/monitor size speakers. Not an easy thing to do during a pandemic even though I am luckily enough to have 5 high-end stores around me. I listened to the Tunetots and was not impressed and did not buy them.  I even liked the new Totem speakers at $3k, more then the $12k tunetots. But again, these were their small ones and the  Wilson’s do have their own sound regardless of size, you need to hear them, you may like them for the money. 

Wilson’s are highly overrated, but everyone should try a pair in their audiophile life 

Wilson good for a transistor amp. Not so well by tubes. Missed : the “natural” sound, detail, 3D...not my cup of tea. Is hi-fi ,no high-end. (It’s my opinion) 

I had the W/P 7 in the front with Wilson Watch, all 3 powered by Mark Levinson 33H. In the rear I had Cub 2s also hooked up to ML amps. I loved them. No problems. Sounded unbelievable playing anything. Ex took them out of storage. Her friend sold them on US Audiomart. Would do it all over again if I could afford it. It is your money and your ears but I don't think you'll regret it.

No doubt that Wilson makes excellent speakers but only an audition will tell you if they are right for you. I don’t like vanilla ice cream, but all those who do, don’t have poor taste, just a different preference.
