A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx

Rysa4, I understand your desire for an "objective standard" but why must it be an anechoic chamber?

The room in which I listen is no more an anechoic chamber than it is an aquarium (excepting the bottom feeders, of course). Why not put accelerometers on the drivers and measure their response in a vacuum?

Better yet, let's shoot speakers up to the International Space Station and test them in completely controlled environments free of the variables of gravity, density, atmospheric composition (some speakers sound best with pure O2 and a cigar), humidity, temperature and reality.

I believe "Stereo Review" nearly achieved that level of "objectivity" until they abandoned cigars.

"Why must it be an anechonic chamber?" Perhaps because it is the least prejudicial reference point?

Unsound is correct of course. You need a standard reference point for comparison. So KHRYS poster, your cigar filled space station where you have your speakers is unique to you as a listening environment and speaker results there mean nothing ( similar to your post) in the way of useful information.

My example of an anechoic chamber is only a point; meaning--hey- these were the frequency responses of these 6 speakers in an anaechoic chamber- its something we can all look at in an apples to apples way. BTW- Testing frequency responses in an anechoic chamber is pretty standard stuff for speaker manufacturers- Khrys- sorry you didn't know that. Wilson stuff should be tested in the same way. Quality manufacturers need not fear comparisons like this.

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.
