Post Subject: Wilson myths or thruths?Posted by Axel on: 8/13/2009

maybe what is mentioned as being some myths is closer to what at least used to be pretty close to the actual truth?

Wilson speakers are pricy, expensive, un-affordable, take your pick. So maybe some of the commentators about Wilsons never had one in their listening room, and if they had one in their room, maybe only the smaller ones like I did - a Watt Puppy 5.x?

So? What about my experience about that lot?
ALL three points mentioned most certainly were THE CASE in my auditioning, nothing about myth at all!
I could not STAND that sound in my listening environment, I found it offensive to my ears - upsetting, unsettling. BUT, I can only comment on those small ones that Romy in any case considers beyond comment.
My point is: couldn't it just be the case, that a lot of 'myths' are stemming from reviewing the smaller speakers and then are projected up to the bigger ones?
It pretty much is what I think is the case about it, EVEN though a generalized sound characteristic might well be the case - but in a much more 'refined' fashion.

So, that's my take of where those "myths" came from. Applied to the smaller wILSON SPEAKERS e.g. Watt Puppy they where actually the bloody truth!

Cheers,
Axel
