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

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.

@phusis ...”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.”

You seriously have no comprehension of people that make lots of money. As a group they are smart, well educated, ambitious, and hard working and only part with there money after diligent investigation of facts and make informed decisions. The kind of people that buy from Wilson..

Your generalization sounds like it was formed by watching the Houswives of Orange County and the escapades of Bernie Madoff... which is by far the excepion not the rule. Otherwise this would be a third world country. Hardworking intelligent people are the backbone of our economy. Silicon Valley and the giants of global commerce, medium and small businesses drive this county. Not stereotypic “rich people”.

Then why is there so much very expensive devalued gear for sale? Smart investment?
