That's because of their new reviewer, Malte Ruhnke. Wilson speakers are bad and he dares to say it.

...I've found the best way to deal with close minded people is to ignore them
speakers with measurements that bad are a waste of time and money. IMHO of course. YMMV of course. Hifi is not about "do I like it".
...this:> Wilson speakers are bad...>
You may say, "Wilson speakers' measurements are bad..."
Until you actually hear them, you can't comment on anything but their measurements.
Please try to be more precise.

LOL!
> Hifi is not about "do I like it". <We've been down this road before, but I still contend that's a stupid statement.
If it's not about what "I like", then "I don't want it". I'm not going to bother with stuff that measures perfect but sounds like crap. And believe me, the two are not mutually exclusive.
Usually it's the other way round, it measures bad yet the reviewer is in awe (Wilson speakers come to mind). If you know of a speaker that measures good and sounds bad, I'd be glad to read that review.
Well my Infinity Prelude MTS speakers seem to fall in that category judging by how high-enders reacted to them!
Can't access the graphs so don't know whether or not they measure good. In any case, someone who is used to drink coffee with sugar won't like it without. In other words, someone who is used to listen to speakers with all sorts of flaws won't probably like speakers without these flaws.
Oh no not that one again!
I'll remember that name.
the X-2's measurements are among the worst I've seen so far. YMMV. Fact is that Ruhnke is not impressed by High-End stuff.
> the worst I've seen so far <Ahhh, hello? Anybody home?
The primary reason for owning speakers is to LISTEN to them.
Yes, indeed, it is. To speakers REPRODUCING music, not MAKING it. Big difference, meaning different requirements. Most speakers are good at making music, Wilson and B&W come to mind. Obviously, YMDV (your mileage does vary).
