Wilson Audio WAMM

This promotion for Wilson's "ultimate " speaker, frankly, left me distinctly underwhelmed. With music more befitting a king's coronation than a speaker's, it is meant to highlight a man's achievement, with this latest and greatest iteration, the WAMM.

Firstly, I think think he should have hired a composer to write a less regal score. Certainly, at these prices, $685,000, he could have afforded it.

Second, although I know esthetics are clearly subjective, I wonder whether he couldn't have created something different here, a new look, something perhaps a bit less threatening? How many of us would like these in our living room? One of the posts on Audiogon summed it up beautifully for me: the speakers "seem to be looking at the listener as the next meal, like a hungry Tyrannosaurus."

I sure hope they sound good!
