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

Heard Wilson Sasha DAW yesterday.  The best I've ever heard. blows away Magico, Rockport, B&W . Blows away everything.  Wilson is the best. Now I have to convince myself to spend the money. it's a ridiculous price for a pair of loudspeakers. 

Absolute conclusions made by hearing different systems in different rooms are marginally helpful. The only way to make such preferential statements with accuracy is to hear the speakers head to head, in the same room, preferably with the same equipment. All other declarations are fairly worthless.

Selection of a speaker is often a highly subjective process. It helps if you really like it initially. :)

for a number of years i did rely on reviews and feedback from others for guidance. and it got me to a dead end of Mark Levinson electronics and Wilson speakers. 

There you have it. Wilson are a dead end.
Love that quote. Green with envy.

Hmm, might want to go and read Mike's follow-up post

I really like Wilson, the dynamics are incredible which makes a huge difference in sounding real,  there are many other great qualities as well which I won’t go into since so many have already said in these forums. . I haven’t heard the Watt Puppy 8 in a long time but remember thinking  they were one of the better Watt Puppies I’d heard. I also really like the current stuff they have. I’ve owned the DAW and the Alexx 2, moving up once again soon.
