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

can buy a complete system with TOTL amps, source, preamp, plus several brand of CDs and LPs, plus a 1977 trans am, and a new corvette, and still have money left over for booze and a bunch of groceries, and pay property taxes for a couple years.

Good point, but ...

If someone can afford a $300k speaker, something tells me that they can buy a complete TOTL system, bunch of CDs and LPs, buy great vintage wine; pay property taxes on their primary residence, summer home, winter home, and beach house ... and still have money leftover for investments. They probably throw lavish parties by the poolside featuring famous singers instead of going to their concerts.

I'm not one of those people, but I can definitely comment on how ugly the Wilsons look, while nibbling on some sour grapes.

Some of those people end up dying in prison because they sold a very expensive lie.

Bernie Madoff is an example of one that got caught...after admitting it was all a scam.

@edgewound

So you are implying the Wilson speakers and the company is a fraud.

@ghdprentice 

Looks to me like you're making a subjective interpretation.

I believe a case can be made that a speaker with this sort of impedance is a poorly designed speaker! No amp exists that will sound best with this type of load. Sort of like asking an amplifier to fix problems that exist in a design due to bad engineering. Ridiculous in my book and a burden to its owner.
