I heard some older WPs years ago not sure the model. I thought that older Focal tweeter was not great. I’m sure the new ones with soft dome sound much better but are also magnitudes higher in cost.
I have Wilson Sasha 1. They are excellent; accurate, natural, coherent from top to bottom. Positioning and powerful amp needed. I prefer Wilson’s to Sonus Faber , Vivid Audio , B & W , DeVore, Van der Steen , Kef , Monitor Audio , MBL , Focal , and Harbeth. The above have their strengths but i prefer Wilson’s.
Have listened to Wilsons, including most recently the Chronosonic model and never found the magic. With the $680k model I felt like I was hearing 5 different speakers at once. Is that coherence? This dealer powers them with MSB Mono blocks at $160k/pair in a large theatre room. On the other hand many reviewers own Wilsons and logic dictates they hear pretty well and have even more choices. Does Wilson offer 1/2 price deals to reviewers or something?
A friend of mine who is a musician and retailer sells both Wilson and Sonus Faber. He owns Sonus Faber Amatis.
Everybody hears differently. My ears are old, worn and limited so I have no idea what the 10k-20K sound is about.
If you can't wait 3 months for a product you may not be very sold on it.
