Wilsons are the best speakers in the world


Hmm..
I don't think so.
For some reason many electronics manufacturers use them for shows. Why is that?

I don't dislike Wilsons, and if they were lousy speakers both Lamm and Ypsilon would pay zero attention to them.
Wilsons are popular speakers, and most buyers - I suspect- are not audiophiles but music lovers. They work for them just fine.
Not sure what shadorne is talking about with Wilson and their paper and fabric drivers unless he's only talking about the last couple of products they've released. I thought it was widely known Wilson used tons of Focal drivers for a long time and Focal isn't best known for paper and cloth drivers. 
That said, Focal tends to be a popular for demos too, especially Sopras. Displaying gear with a speaker isn't about just trying to make it sound good. If the character of that speaker is generally known then decent guesses can be made about the gear behind it.

Good point. It is hard to totally generalize. Wilson has its share of lousy designs as well as designs that are legendary like the Watt Puppy.

I would say to my ears the best sounding Wilsons are with pulp and paper woofers/mids and fabric domes.

I understand that not everyone is sensitive or focussed on timbral accuracy and to some the ringing from rigid cone materials is no big deal.
