My only problem with Wilson Audio (aside from the price tag) is that they are hediously ugly.
Here is Dave Wilson with the WAMM 7a, costing $225,000...
Talk about ugly!
I don't think there is anyway to overcome the WAF on those things. Though if you can spend $225,000 for speakers, you have a enough money that WAF is of no worry.
Agreed, and hopefully people in hearing and visual range will be serious enough audiophiles that they would let the beauty of the music be their primary impression.
If I were in that income bracket and had to make a choice between a super-expensive car and a truly hotrod hifi like this, I would choose the latter in a heartbeat. Great music touches my heart far more than a V-12 engine (although it would certainly be nice to have both)
