why are wilson speakers so highly regaurded.

why are wilsons so hot?i have heard x-1s , maxxes, watt puppies,5.1s ,6.0s etc. i think they are ok but 20k for what. 40k? 76k, dont they use focal drivers? are they not the cheaper focal drivers? the utopias and grand utopias should kill them. the mezzo should kill the watt puppies. i think they do. maybe i have not heard them right. the cabinets do not look very complex like the utopia line. is their something i have missed? maybe dave wilson will respond, and fill me in. i am not trying to bash wilson , but what is it guys and gals. thanks for responding. if you have wilsons do not take this personnaly, just trying to figure this out.

The dealer set up in Miami is criminal. And what you described is exactly my point. Wilson demands extreme care in setup and component matching.

I listen to Wilson speakers a lot. They are awesome speakers. Very focused and transparent. I own Piega's which are a different sound.It will depend on your room and your tastes. Check out the 6's and you may not buy another speaker. I also agree with a following post of eating the B&W's lunch

One more comment on a strength of Wilson speakers. They sound fantastic at every volume level. What is so amazing is when you turn them down low and you're still able to hear the full spectrum of sound. Try that the next time you demo them. No other speaker gets this part right. Other manufacturers require you to turn them up to get decent sound,at lower volumes the detail on top and bottom disappear.
