Well, I suppose one almost cannot give an unbiased review for these speakers... but in my limited experience, I haven't heard anything that sounds better. While living in Hong Kong I had noticed the WAMM Series VII listed in Audiophile show catalogs, but never had a chance to hear them, until we found a dealer that had a pair. The experience was a mind-bending one. |

How is it possible to charge so much for a loadspeaker. C'mon guys what type of forum is this?Under every darn speaker over 50 gees i find idiots who have nothing better to do than rip of,and wright statmnts in rusta ,richboy or flippin who knows what.I agree that it is totaly obscene to charge this much for a speaker,for eg acoustic energy ae 1s or b and w cdm nts are more than enough on the level of perfection to me,so how can these be 20x more expensive??Well the answer simply is that the quest for the perfect speaker has long since been in progress,some substances like obscenly expensive resins have much the same charecteristics as heavly braced mdf,but cost easy ten times more,this is the only way to obtain the ultimate speaker,using these materials because they are the only materials now that are actually better than standard matrix and fiber board designs,but are not so to validate there cost.Also when gold is used in connections it isnt a conducter that is way over the top of others,definitly beter yes..,but the price paid is well,, the price of gold,very expensive. |

Strength:
They got to be a good six feet tall.
Weakness:
Not very durable. Need a large room - my den was overwhelmed. I had these speakers on loan for about a month. I actually damaged one of the speakers during this period by a freak accident. I had the speakers set up in my living room and decided to put a golf net between the enomrmous structures. Well, everyting was fine until I shanked a nine iron clean through the top unit that housed the tweeter assembly. I attempted to glue the pieces together but it really didn't work. Also, when I glued the pieces back together, I had to glue the tweeter as well (it was shaterred). To add to my problems not only does right side no longer work, it smokes and makes loud, high pitched screaching noise like I have never heard before. So, I replaced the tweeter with one from my sons ghetto blaster. I fixed all the glue marks and frayed areas from the break. I took them back last Sunday just hoping they don't call me back - I haven't the credit room on my Visa. Similar Products Used: Noe in this category. |

Capable of blowing Fuses............
Weakness:
Very capable at blowing its own woofers......... Well, after working hard one night selling my favorite product at the hottest spot in America, I decided to stop by my favorite corner liquor store. Lucky for me, My main man Sammie had these speakers he wanted to sell. Being the business man that I am, I offered Sammie the left over product I had. Jeeze, A nickle can get you a whole lot of music. Similar Products Used: Grand Enigma..Wow |

Strength:
Good bass, clean sound.
Weakness:
Must get a good deal. This is in response to Bill's comment about Radio shack possibly over-charging. A friend of mine is a RS manager and got me a open box pair of these Wilsons at 10% above cost. My out the door price was $ 110. I realize a merchant can charge "what the market will bare" but going from $100 to $150,000 is too much. Maybe UBID will get some refurbs. |

In responce to Emmanual down below. I play violin in an orchastra and I must say that the experience is wounderful......however they dont charge me any money at all to play. My suggestion is to spend some of your money on music lessons and donate the rest of your overflowing cash to a charity. |
