A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx

just trying to help this thread get to 200 responses. would selling a version that is primer only have a significent impact on the the selling price? is it wise to run them through a brushless wash, without the underbody option? what would vin deisel do?

Unsound, how is an anechoic chamber a less prejudicial reference?

Rysa4, sorry you missed the joke: sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Jaybo, Vin would only use an anechoic wash then hand buff the finish until it reflected DC.

Amperidian - "I'm not a Wilson Audio owner or fan, but their speakers are among the few cone designs that can match horns in the frequencies where the horns excell. Not perfect of course, but they deserve some credit at least."

This is so funny! Wilson's are almost as good as horns, for only 5x the price...

It is also very funny how emotional people are on this subject. I have heard the big Wilsons sound very good, and also very bad. The Wilson aesthetics and finish quality are wonderful (IMO). But to all of the Wilson apologists here: wake-up! There are equal and better sounding speakers commercially available at much lower MSRP.

Skushimo, Could you educate me on how Wilson cone designs can match horn design? This is not sarcastic question. I really am clueless other than my understanding that some people prefer horn sound. Thanks. Well with this post we have made 200 posts!!

Khrys, because an anechoic chamber is the most neutral place for such references. Such a room doesn't skew the measurements. Discounting the obvious but impractical preference of having manufacturers measure their speakers in ones own listeneing room, where would you prefer your potential speakers measurments made: in some one elses room, a bowling alley, a porta-potty, where?
