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.

Not sure what hallucinogens you have been enjoying,  however no ......Like in None, "BookShelf"  type of loud speakers that can be found on the "Third Rock From The Sun",  regardless of how many Rel Subwoofers are being utilized,  will " Blow Away " a properly installed pair of Wilson XVX speakers.....more bass , perhaps, but that's about it.......

Cheers

Really interesting discussion.

For those who have heard XLF or Alexx V  as well as XVX what are your thoughts on the differences ?

This level equipment is beyond my league but I had a couple interesting demos that may be helpful for you.  I live in Memphis and met the owner of EgglestonWorks.  Jim had his Ivy Signature SEs in his office and gave me a demo. I don't recall the electronics but they were modest brands.  These speakers were designed with Bob Ludwig in mind, who stands while working.  The tweeters are quite high for a typical listening room.  I read in a review one may want to consider building a raised platform for their seat, which seems very unusual.  Regardless, that was the most memorable sound experience I have ever had.  They were probably 15 or so feet apart and the wall of 3 dimensional sound they created was jaw dropping.  I had an audio friend with me and we were both amazed.  A few months ago I visited a large Wilson dealer and heard the XVX with all Burmester electronics.  The price tag was approximately $1,500,000 on this system, maybe more.  I have Sophia 1 and honestly my system is more engaging than what I heard from the XVX.  To all other points, there are endless variables so good luck with a demo to figure out what direction to go and see if you can find one of the few EgglestonWorks dealers to visit.
