What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?


If you have heard xvx what speakers have you heard that are better for less money? Seems Jay just got XVX and can't help but wonder if there are speakers that perform better for example for $100k or less. Including used.

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?

@p05129 I have heard the XVX and the Lansche in different rooms with different electronics, but I still have a very clear understanding of what each speaker delivers. In my suggestion, I provided one that I thought would most closely resemble the sonic signature of the XVX but perhaps surpassed it for a lower price as the OP suggested. 

Others have suggested incredible speakers (Borresen, Raidho, Vimberg), but they are all very different tonally from the XVX.
 

I think AG Trios with bass horns can compete for half the price in a large room. 
 

In box land, Stenheim Ultime is supposedly competitive, hoping to hear at Axpona.
