Grgr4blu,
As usual you don't get it. The OP is asking if a pair of modern speakers is better which of course they are. Perhaps in his neck of the woods Wilson is the best speakers he can find, or perhaps he is being told by this dealer that there is no other speaker system to consider as Wilson is his only good line of reference speakers. Or perhaps it is dealits.
We don't know where in the country this gentleman is so unless he is in our part of the country, NY Metro, he will not be buying anything from us.
The fact that there are so many Wilson toadies is disturbing, and as this is a forum, there should be more open discussions about everything.
The fact that Wilson is a very good, speaker, ex Wilson owner here, but today has a bunch of competition from many manufacturers means the market has matured.
So by mentioning these other brands as possible speakers he should consider with two of them being brand new might actually help the OP to open up his mind about what his options are.
It seems that you like many WIlson owners are constantly in need of self affirmation that you own or still own the best.
I have said on many occasions these products are tools, who cares us included if there is a better product on the market if you find a better tool you buy that one.
Your narrow mindedness even as an owner, is one reason why people get turned off by the hobby. CJ, ARC, VTL, BAT, VAC or all great tube amps. but invariablly you get the owner, who is the one who has to get reaffirmed that they still own the best.
As a dealer, we sell many different brand of reference speakers, in our case KEF, Paradigm, Dali, Legacy. and we love all of them for different reasons. Hence our reason for posting was to draw the OP into thinking about the entire shopping and auditioning process which may require him to re-evaluate his methodology.
Many times it is human nature to be swayed by a "great deal" on something which gets us excited to move on something, when perhaps a cooler approach to sit back and evaluate the possibilities is what is the best coure of action.
As per our reviews, get over it, these people has actually been to my store and have actually demoed with me or purchased from our store.
The fact that we garner such praise is because we make great sound, and we have a fantastic collection of great gear, but this post is not about me or my store, it is about the OP and letting him know that he may want to avail himself to the fact that there are many good choices that he may want to consider.
