Wilson Audio Haters

Thought this was as good a place as any to post this...lol
My experience with Wilson
Last week I bought a used pair of Wilson Witt mk1 ( yes the cheapest Wilsons you can get, gotta start somewhere!)
After spending about 60 minutes or so working on placement, although they ended up very close to previous Focal 826v placement, I sat down for some critical listening impressions.
4 hours later I was still there, with the grin getting wider possibly in direct relation to the increasing volume I was trying.
Definitely my ears gave up before the Wilsons did!
Very very solid powerful controlled bass, great soundstage and vocals.
BUT......they definitely do not suffer poor source material to wit....
Was playing Tidal and 2 albums back to back exemplified this point.
1/ remastered version of Crime of the Century by Supertramp.... absolutely in heaven, the piano on the title track was just ethereal in nature and i could find no fault with any song on the album or its replay.
2/ Pollinator by Blondie....oh good lord, WHOEVER mixed this new album should have been taken out and shot! What I would describe as disco bass, overblown boom, boom, boom blah! And as for the higher registers? I thought the tweeters had blown! cymbals were just all tizzy and splashy, truly awful, could only manage a coupel of tracks before had to turn that off.

Quality electronics and quality source paired with Wilsons and you should be in heaven.
Anything less and they will ruthlessly annihilate your music!

Hmmmm....  A few thoughts reading this thread. 
First, bo1972 sounds like a world class weenie. 
Second, Wilson has no obsession with cloth domes and paper cone. They've used plenty of Focal W cones and various aluminum and titanium domes. 
Third, I don't particularly care for B&W midrange. I think they sound sterile.
Forth, AMT's are nice transducers, especially the big dipoles, but they have their unique placement and implementation challenges you either like or don't. I think they're harder to do right than other drivers. 
And fifth, I don't take a typical amateur listener's opinion very seriously. I begin to take a listener's opinion seriously when they've produced an extensive body of opinions, including products I'm familiar with, that gives me a tangible feel for what their experiencing. I've seen too many pictures of people's listening rooms to believe an amateur's opinion means anything. I can take all my room treatments down and stuff my Focals against the wall and they will sound shallow and harsh. I can place them along another wall and they will sound shouty and lack any bass. I'm not convinced too many put enough consideration towards placement and treatment to make their opinions worth a whole lot. 

Kosst_amojan - I couldn’t agree more. The room is one of the biggest challenges in audio. It’s hard enough assembling a system that plays well together. But getting the placement and room acoustics right is like naked blindfolded voodoo. And not in the good way I know you all first pictured.
Experimentation and research definitely pay dividends!

With your permission, if I may, please kindly allow me to elucidate these matters regarding Bo, who is a visionary and trailblazer in the world of hi-fi.

How, you may ask, do I have anything to contribute to this detailed discussion? I am a client of Bo. By client I mean that I am not a customer. It is much the same as when you visit a physician or a lawyer. The wise man does not instruct the professional how to treat his ills! He entrusts the outcome with the professional of his choosing. Otherwise a man could treat or represent himself.

Music is all about emotion. When I felt that my music reproduction system and associated components and installation was failing to deliver proper emotion to me I decided to seek Bo for consultation. Bo was very generous with his time! He showed me how Tru-Fi works. It can be demonstrated to every listener that Tru-Fi works by applying properties to the reproduction of music. By proper application of these properties, which sometimes requires adjustments to within .5 mm, Tru-Fi can be achieved and all will agree that this is how hi-fi should be sold. Not all components are capable of Tru-Fi. Because Bo has a photographic memory as applied to sound reproduction, Bo can identify those components that deliver 3D sound! Most components deliver only 1D or 2D sound! This Bo can demonstrate.

Bo can evaluate your 1D or 2D music reproduction system and prescribe a solution using components that are 3D and can deliver Tru-Fi. These are improvements all can hear because music is about emotion and all can feel the emotion in reproduced music once Bo has demonstrated Tru-Fi to you. He can do this in a shootout as he has done many times and proven to all who listen.

Throughout the course of Human History visionaries and trailblazers have been laughed at, minimalized, derided, ridiculed and chided. Bo knows this! He is being generous by contributing here to share his knowledge about Tru-Fi and the way it can be applied using properties to music reproduction systems and installations. He has demonstrated to many manufacturers, distributors and designers of components used in music reproduction systems the ways of Tru-Fi and properties and I suspect that you will see some major manufacturers adopt Tru-Fi methods, techniques, standards and practices as time moves forward. This is because all who hear Tru-Fi exclaim for the first time they are hearing the emotion in music, which is what music is all about.

Those of you here who are dubious about Bo have never heard Tru-Fi and have not heard 3D sound in their music reproduction systems. Once you have heard Tru-Fi, you will realize that all other approaches to the design, assembly, fabrication, installation and specifying of music reproduction systems is flawed. Only Tru-Fi can deliver the emotion in music, which is what music is all about. There is no point to music reproduction systems if there is no emotion.

I hope Bo will forgive me speaking on his behalf here.

It is time for Bobby to create another user account to be a shill for TruFi as his Clearthink account has been revealed to be him!!!!
