I think it is fair to say that no big speakers are going to "work" up to their potential without some serious effort expended in setting them up.  IMO, this is no small matter, and Wilson obviously agrees, including, "professional set up" in the price of admission.  While I don't know if the set-up is actually worth a damn, you can include me in the group who would much prefer to have someone else do it, that's for sure.
I once heard Grand Slam newer version at one guy's house a couple of years ago. The room was nice and spacious. It was passivelly bi-amped by two pairs of Lamm LM-2.1. I don't remember the pre-amp, but the digital front end was all EMM.

The owner said the entire set up was done by Wilson's own crew.

The system had a big suck up in lower mid-range as if the woofer section and the mid-low section was connected out of phase (it was so obvious, so maybe it was). A bariton sax sounded like a tenor sax! The transient was pretty dull too. If that's a professional job, they professionally screwed the guy up perfectly (took money and run).
