Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo


What a bargain, still bet they sound great with the right amp up them, looking at that impedance/phase angle graph.

XVX is a very demanding load, with EPDR less than 1.1 ohms between 52Hz and 66Hz and between 197Hz and 287Hz, with minimum values of 0.91 ohms at 450Hz and 0.94 ohms at 3250Hz. The Chronosonic XVX should be used with amplifiers that don't have problems driving loads of 2 ohms and lower.

$300,000 buys a lot of concerts....you know...live music? Reality? For years....Probably decades...


Think your forgetting the drool value of them. And the brownie points you get here if you own a pair, speakers that is.

Cheers George
This is where we go paying to ignore room acoustic controls...

I dont doubt they are good speakers at all, who knows, the best in the world maybe.......

At this price takes a 10,000 bucks speakers well designed and put them in a well acoustically controlled room...

After that take this 300,000 dollars speakers put them in an another vast uncontrolled empty room...

Compare the 2....

Previsible conclusion: the best will be those in a controlled room...
Then dont pay too much...Pay attention to physical basic acoustic but more importantly also to pychoacoustic.... And enjoy the true audiophile experience at low cost....






Now i can say to you that i succeed in controlling my own room at no cost....

Basic psychoacoustic is the golden key....

my well chosen speakers value are peanuts and i dont need anything else thanks to basic acoustic and psychoacoustic...


My post is here to only give hope to all those who cannot afford this costly piece of engineering.... Trust you ears and read about acoustic and psychoacoustic....




They may sound good, but looks like awful 80's aesthetic to me.

That kind of dough should get you something beautiful to look at too.
Fail.

Besides the impedance, the other thing we learn is that Michael Fremer's room sucks.  Oh, wait, we should know this already. :D
