New Wilson Audio flagship speakers

[Mort]

It's 821 lbs - so costs nearly $1k per pound weight.
Genelec 8361a's would cost $70k at that rate.

D&D 15C feels like a bargain now lol

 

[Drengur]

It costs even more than a trip to an American pharmacy!

 

[GroeneLeeuw]

This is getting ridiculous now

 

[Karl_in_Chicago]

I'm sure people that buy these things also have people that take care of such things but . . . 821 lbs per "system" means . . . a pair or each speaker? Make sure nobody has their foot under a spike, LOL!

 

[Karlinamillion]

Laughably stupid.

 

[3125b]

Biblically accurate speaker.

 

[Pearljam5000]

According to Wilson it's the most accurate speaker in the world :

This concept of allowing the customer to adjust the placement of drivers is quite fascinating, and cool mechanics with the gears and stuff. But I'm curious how a typical customer is supposed to be able to set this "correctly", to the extent there is such a position.

 

[Tovarich007]

Horrible, terrible, freaky, insane.
WA were looking rather ugly and way too complicated.
But now, WA has blown away every notion of taste.

The orange ring on the Palmer orbit 11 isn't so bad now is it . .

Yes. It really still is.

Price: US$788,000 per pair

They couldn’t even be bothered to hide the speaker fasteners! I’m ok with the large bolts, but the speaker fasteners should have a trim ring on a $1000+ speaker, let alone something at this price point.

It comes with an install service.

You could also do this yourself, but I think for that price you can expect the dealer to do it for you.

Here's a manual detailing the process as well: https://www.wilsonaudio.com/media/344/manual-alexx.pdf

That preposterously pretentious beard was enough to put me off even if they were free.

It's not only expected, it's obligatory.

Failing to do it, invalidates warranty.

Sometimes leaving your company to your child is not the best move. At least the late David Wilson's speakers looked presentable. This is an abomination.

 

[Zgrado1970]

This reminds me of the “historical” Wilson display at AXPONA a few years ago.

Almost certainly better than the new ones.

 

[Power Pop 23]

Like birds-eye maple veneer stained the color of urine, the Wilson Audio Autobiography loudspeaker represents a design with the same unspoken marketing message.

Our aesthetic is designed to discourage sighted listening and the biases inherent therein.

 

[Somafunk]

Most accurate speaker but it has no measurements.....

Bigly accurate, the bestest most accurate speaker in the world, like nothing the world has ever before seen.

Just needs to be bright orange and it’d remind me of another monstrosity
