Looks like something that can move rapidly on those four feet and maybe suck small living things into its intake port. Watch out for your Yorkie if you ever get one of those. Never let it out of your sight! You've been warned!Wilson doesn't do anything "small":

My issue is the design doesn't make sense compared to the problem it solves
i would imagine the places that sell these speakers to clients never ever just sell the speakers alone... these places are selling an entire setup for close to seven figures and that obviously includes an amp that is approved by David Wilson... maybe something from d'agostino? gryphon?
very very few people are buying the speakers by themselves to hook up even an AHB2
I'd just short cut that and say nothing Wilson does is particularly great except in the odd aesthetic sense to impress.....and even then that is for the odd ***** squadI've never thought those systems, especially the bigger Wilsons, sounded particularly good. To me systems like the IRS, the Wilson Maxx's, and the Porizeli Pipedreams, to name just three I've heard, all sound like they are multiple speakers lashed together playing different ranges of the audible frequency range with three, four, or five different voices. They generally can get very loud, they may have one or two regions where they sound very 'expensive', but as overall systems, they never seem to sound coherent and unified. The bass in particular always seems overblown . I think that's because in the audio showroom, the sales force attempts to show where all that money went in creating the system, and huge, overwhelming, bombastic bass is the proof for the dumb and monied that no expense was spared in making the product. To that end. high end showrooms make no attempt to use dsp to control room nulls and especially peaks caused by standing waves, so these systems more often that not sound incredibly turgid to anyone with experience on what real music sounds like. But the target market isn't musicians, really experienced audio professionals or seasoned audiophiles, but rather nouveau riche professionals and coke dealers, and as long as their new $800k system stands over seven feet tall, has amps made entirely of aircraft aluminum the size of top loading deep freezes, and burps 16hz sound waves at 125 db, they're happy.
And the Wilson's drive Maybachs. So it goes.
these speakers i imagine have alignment and azimuth adjustment and all that... this is what those onsite guys do
