I do not feel that there is any mystery in Wilson’s bass – they sound as they shall – like crappy ported speakers and it is very unfortunate in my view. David Wilson ether do not know what and how he is listening or know very much what he does but care less about it. Regardless the result is the result – the Wilson’s bass is the weakest element of the largest Wilsons.

I would also disagree that Wilsons have any specifies tendency for giantomania of imaging, the installations that I heard did not suffer from it. It is most likely that the experience that you, rutcho, had with them was with a context of not properly set up Wilsons, which is 99% of them out there. It is very difficult to set the Wilsons up properly in a room, it is an independent form of art if you wish, and it is very seldom people go into this extend of “owning Sound”. Anyhow, I do not concur that Wilsons “image large” – they are fine in this department. If you want to hear an example of speakers that image “idiotically large” then try the Martin-Logan Statement system.  They do depict a flute of the size of elephant’s ears…

If to talk about the Wilson’s mystery, as least in the way how I pensive it then I would names two things. Important to mention that what I am taking about it I mead ONLY the big Wilsons: the Grand Slam and Alexandria. Anything smaller than them, including the MAXX that many Morons-reviewers are trying to squirt of own ass to public attention, would not be applicable to have the “Wilson’s mystery”.

So, to me the first “Wilson’s mystery” of the biggest Wilsons is in absolutely wonderful and absolutely unique among all speakers unanimity of transient characteristic across the whole range. Even in the bass where the biggest Wilsons are so weak they somehow maintain very smart transient balance – amassing quality in my view. The second “Wilson’s mystery” is that fact that the biggest Wilsons are the only one mid-sensitively direct radiation know to me speaker that do not compress sound (if driver with proper amplification). At least I, with my DSET driven, nearfiled operating, 109dB sensitive dynamic-spoiled listening habits recognized no dymick problems when I was listening Grand Slam or Alexandria. I have no idea how they did it….
