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

Servicing 500 lb speakers seems Herculean. 

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 . 

I dont know why people think that speakers are more important than acoustic control....

It is like thinking that  the best boat in the world without rudder is useful....


I know....

It is because acoustic control ask for thinking and some study....

Speakers are affordable with money , no need to work for understanding a room, but beware to the illusion they will sound good in a bad room.... Perhaps.... at this price it is possible that acoustic was less impactful.... But i doubt it..... Anyway i own 50 bucks "relatively good speakers" and i dont need any other one in my small room...

The test is simple..... If the sound fill the room and sometimes if the voices comes from your back it is good.... The timbre must be natural for sure.....

Classic Audio T1.5 would be a better investment (Wallet), better musical satisfaction and joy over these Wilson anyway.

OTL with Field Coils Horns will have less distortion, more speed, transparency blah blah blah at much less. These overpriced speakers need to pay for overhyped advertising costs.

What a bargain ...

If ever there was a bigger (unintended) joke in home audio reproduction. That's not to say the Wilson XVX system (+ subs) mayn't sound great, but don't call it a bargain. 

@perkri --

... this is a High End website, and as such, anyone who comes to any website that is a forum to discuss any high end item/activity, should be able to maintain an open mind.

High-end audio discussions to a large extend have many dismiss or even ridicule the equal pedigree of cheaper, alternative takes, not least from different and/or older segments of audio reproduction (i.e.: the pro arena in particular), so I'd question the open mindedness on that side of the discussion as well. Lots of money has a tendency to make people lazy and unwilling to explore, and thus becomes more about gadgetry and buying expensive equipment simply because you can.
