Yes, Dave Wilson set it all up himself.
Wow. I really wanted to meet Dave Wilson. Too bad. If you look at the demos he gave at the show, he knows how to appeal to people.
The only problem is that the exterior looks like a Japanese "Gundam." I'm a guy, so I like the old Wilson audios with lots of straight lines, but women hate them because they look like robots.
It is not a bad idea to make a plan first.
Rather than just buy stuff willy-nilly
I have a model that I decided on as a passive speaker. There is a brand that I wanted to try.
I have decided on the rest for now. I have to put it together!
I respect your opinion. I will think about it some more.
Skywalker Sound uses all Meyer Sound speakers.
The Bluehorn is their flagship system which integrates the processor, the amplification.
Thanks for the great info. Bluehorn is an all-in-one system. All you need is a source device. I'll check it out when I get a chance.
Which brand/model speakers have you decided on?
If a used model that I want comes out, I'll think about it a bit more. Should I choose one of Sonus Faber, Wilson Audio, Audio Solutions, B&W, or Focal? They're brands that I've heard a lot about or am interested in. I'll choose a speaker that's not too expensive.
Stupid traders don't understand this cycle and don't deserve anything else.
I totally agree with you.
Honestly, the audio industry is so small. If you look into it a little, it's a place where rumors spread quickly. Stupid salespeople get caught up in it quickly. I hate those people too.
All models are false, even though some are useful. Car analogies are models that are often false and their usefulness is limited.

I agree with you Denney. It's just a simple explanation for someone who has no interest in audio and asks a question. If you want to talk about your area of expertise, you don't need to use cars as an example.
For speakers, I recommend you do the following:
1. Decide whether you want passive or active.
2. Pick your budget,.
3A. If you want passive speakers, go here:

3B. If you want active speakers, go here:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...-recommendations-for-usa-by-sweetchaos.28269/
In the above links speakers are ranked based on their objective measurements in different price categories.
4. If there are speakers in which you are interested not listed in the above links, go here:
https://www.spinorama.org/
That is the easiest way to find speakers that produce accurate sound for your budget.
For amplifiers, DACs, etc., go through Amir's reviews.
Wow! Thank you so much. I've seen a lot of passive, DAC, and AMP reviews. This is the first time I've heard of active speaker reviews and the site
https://www.spinorama.org/ .
I didn't look into active speakers because I'm not interested in them. But there are so many Genelec active speakers! I'll definitely listen to them when I get a chance.
The OP isn't in the USA and his first language is not English.
Thanks for worrying! It's okay! Just read English moderately. If I don't know, just use Google Translate!
If you know of information similar to the links I provided for the OP's country/region, please provide it. That may be even better.
Just that information alone is too much. It's helpful enough. Thank you! If I really curious, just search on Google and read the reviews! There are a lot of articles that I can't trust, but I can read them with a moderate amount of filtering.
I don't know where he is but I do know the price and availability of US kit like JBL and Revel is poor here and the reverse is also true.
In my area, JBL and Revel are not that expensive. The competition is fierce, so the price of new speakers is not expensive. Almost all the famous speaker brands in the world are there! It will be easier to find a brand that is not in stock. Usually, you can check the price based on the US MSRP and negotiate the price with the dealer! They give big discounts.
Again, the OP will need to find price/availability in his/her region. Nonetheless, the links by sweetchaos at least provide rankings based on objective measurements that the OP can reference, and take that into consideration along with price and availability where the OP is shopping.
You're right. I really like that you provide rankings based on objective measures. Great info. I'll keep it in mind.
