What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?

Raidho TD 4.8

OP, I am confused. Is there a point to this post? Are you in the market for a set of speakers? 
 

“Beat Wilson…” This is an ambiguous question. I have heard some incredible Wilson, Magico, and other well known expensive speakers. I can appreciate what they can do… but also, I have not wanted to own any of them. Why? Because of my values in sound. What I am looking for is different.

So if this is a real personal question… what are your preferences in sound… your equipment, budget, venue, and desire to swap out components to support the speakers.

If this is just a question for the fun of asking questions… just say so.

+1 @mikelavigne Your post is so very on point. How many times do we see folks with pricey large speakers that are shoe horned into rooms that are obviously not appropriate in any way for the speaker design. Many times a large screen TV is set up between the speakers, with absolutely no thought given to room acoustics or any other room aspect. IMO, anyone who is spending large on speakers with no idea as to how to set them up, or that does not have an appropriate room to house them in, along with a great acoustic space, is simply wasting their money.

Money can't buy me love!!

Never having been a Wilson Lover I would find many brands to beat the XVX.

Stenheim, Sound Lab, Borresen, Vimberg, TAD to name a few.

How many of you that responded have actually heard these speakers? I’m guessing 99% of you haven’t so how can you say something is better than something you haven’t heard them or have personally compared your mentioned speakers to these Wilson’s in the same room using the same equipment?
