Banned in Audiogon?

aND BSW!

I would be curious to know how many of us on Audiogon are dealers.  Be nice to know who they are so we can detect bias and perhaps salesmanship.  However, I have learned a lot.  

it does seem some manufacturers and dealers rarely identify themselves as such...

Off main topic, but I've calvinandhobbes' experience when I've heard Wilsons at shows -- definitely a bit on the "technical" side.  Not sure that's a fault: seems like there is a lot of legitimate variation in personal taste on a detail/accuracy vs. warmth/musicality dimension.  I was actually a little relieved Wilsons were not for me, given the price of admission.
I agree with those who say that few products escape  criticism here, as indeed the criticism of prestige product like Wilson indicates.

It's a little puzzling, this criticism of Wilson's.

From a distance you see excellent drivers placed in well thought-out composite cabinets.

So what can possibly go wrong from there?

What does that leave, crossovers?

Could it just be a simple matter of less than perfect crossover design on some models?


@oldhvymec,

"A guy would start a thread, the FOUR would show up.. A whole page of going back and fourth. Not adding a penny's worth to the conversation.."

Yes, seems to be a lot less of that now.

When it comes to online reviews (Amazon etc) I usually find it more informative to start by reading the one star reviews.

Some very mediocre products on there seem to have a fantastic number of 5 star reviews.
