Four pages of comments and not a word yet about what music was played, and how it was played.
Truly memorable I guess?
Or like Munich, a fabulous mixture of plinky plonk, Pink Floyd, and GWG? (As is often the wont of those with more kit that taste?).
I'll say one thing for David Wilson, that he's pursued his vision all the way.
He couldn't be accused of undervaluing his products, either
I already know pretty much what it will sound like. It will sound like a Wilson system. They don't vary that much in terms of house sound.
Scale should be very impressive, and the corner subs are doubtless pretty capable.
It'll sound as though it is quite accurate, but be pretty sterile with it. It'll play very loud with little in the way of cabinet colouration. Imaging will be spacious and quite precise. Transient response will be very good. High levels of bass at high volume will not phase it.
In truth whether you like that kind of sound or not, it is high performance.

I'm gone.
I'm not keen on the aesthetics, but if I had the £moolah it would be daft to not have them on my Possibles List.
They might look very imposing in a good way in piano black. Very Darth Vaderish.
I'd definitely ditch the curtains, though!
Good luck to you with the Wilson range commercially, Paul.

Wish I had a room that big. Looks like he could do with some more room acoustic treatment, I bet the bass can get a bit out of control?
Main system : VPI Scout 1.1 / JMW 9T / 2M Black / Croft 25R+ / Croft 7 / Heco Celan GT 702
Second System : Goldring Lenco GL75 / AT95EX / Pioneer SX590 / Spendor SP2
All that and at best it sounds as if "the artists were in the room". Wrong - I don't want that! I want it to sound as if I am in the artists' room and can hear the acoustic of the venue. Even if it is a studio recording, I want to hear what the recording engineer heard.
But then I'm just jealous. I'm sure they sound wonderful, though I doubt they are really worth that money. Veblen goods indeed, but they will sell quickly; there are more than enough Russian and Chinese plutocrats who would be willing to buy them all, if only as a status symbol.

They would look great in the latest Alien movie
