I am not making this up...




NOTE: THE ABOVE PHOTO GOES WITH A DIFFERENT STORY!!!!!

A top-level European pipe-organ builder told me that one of his clients loved classical music, but did not like mingling with people at concerts.

So, on land that had been in his family for some time, he commissioned a concert hall the size of the famous one in Vienna (or its near-clone in Nashville). So of course he needed a pipe organ designed and built.

The man in question would then hire on-tour orchestras to add one unpublicized stop on their tours.

There are people out there with access to lots of Ready Freddy, lettuce, moolashe, dinheiro; whatevah ya wanta call it.

PART 2: I gather that most of the 24 or so pairs already sold are going to existing top-level Wilson customers. I helped uncrate and assemble and set up a pair of Alexandria IIs, which is the photo above.
those things are worth the price of admission to you is another story. I'd have no problem is an experienced listener who could afford anything ended up with Quads, Sound Labs, Shahinians, or Vivid Audios--all of which sound rather different from the WAS "House Sound."

NB the photo above is of the pair of Alexandria XLFs that replaced the pair that I helped set up. So, I think that the answer to your implied question is something like, they are not likely to be first-time Wilson buyers.

ATB,

John
