Wilson Audio, Alexandria speakers

Wow, These would be a tough sell I just cant see these sitting in my livingroom as there not the nicest looking speakers I have seen. They may sound out of this world but they dont look the part. Yes these are real and are in production.

Those speakers are one of the most expensive in production.

Oddly enough, I have read a lot of very bad reviews of wilson speakers.

I wouldn't kick them out of my house, though.

Not impressed. B&W 802D, at a tiny fraction of the cost, measures superior in every important aspect as compared the very expensive top end Wilson speakers. Revel also has a speaker that measures similar to the 802D, at a slightly lower cost, though the specific model number escapes me at the moment.

Want the ultimate monopole speaker sound quality? Just get the 802Ds, proper room treatment, a pair of high quality top notch subs and use a powerful DSP crossover/processor such as a DCX2496 to integrate the subs and mains, and to apply tonal alteration filters on the mains(a critical step to achieving ideal sound to preference-the 802D after all is a linear and neutral monitor - so it is ideally suited to tonal modification in a predictable and reliable fashion by way of high precision hardware).

Those have to be just about the ugliest speakers I've ever seen.
