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.

@john1   Uhmm, The Sasha 1 utilized the same Focal Tweet as the Watt Puppy 7...
How anyone could prefer that tweeter over the new Wilson silk dome is beyond me..
Yes, the YG Billetdome is very good, but IMO so are the new Wilson silk domes..unless you like ringing in the very HF's??
I agree with daveyf. Most of the exotic material tweeters I have heard were less than impressive. When Wilson changed from the awful tweeter they used for years I thought they sounded much better. Not only are few exotics to my taste but what you have to do with the crossover to tame the nasties is often impedes the overall performance. You can add Thiel to the list of unlistenable speakers for this reason. 
Now, these tall speakers, they could NOT be because Jim Winey figured out speakers in the 1970's could it?

NAW!  Who would think such a thing!

If a pair of the latest Magnepan speakers does not satisfy you IN YOUR ROOM, buy a box of something else and suffer.

Otherwise, enter the world of music and purchase Magneplaners and then concentrate on the MUSIC. 

Remember, you heard it here (or hear...!).

Cheers!
Hopefully that includes choice of finish, delivery and setup.
that’s just nuts for a pair of speakers if you can’t get a great speaker for under $75k  then something is seriously wrong with Audio. Sometimes I feel that it’s just way overkill with many of 
These companies. If you can afford it then go for it .
but diminishing returns come into play at a much greater amount .
Maybe 5% better for double the money .
