In a recent issue of TAS, Jonathan Valin wrote a show report descriibing a Wilson / Spectral combination. For Wilson to mate with Spectral makes absolutely no sense to me. Yes, it probably sounds more true to the recording, but why bother?
Wilson has always prided themselves on producing a live show at home. Then comes Magico and it gets dubbed as the more accurate speaker - or a speaker that excels reproducing everything on the recording.
Why would Wilson want to fight Magico on their turf? Let Magico have the honor of being the speaker that goes for your head, while Wilson grabs your heart. And recently hearing the Alexandria with the new D'Agostino amps, it is hard to beat Wilson at producing the show experience, which is what most audiophiles are looking for.
Wilson won't convince guys like Valin about accuracy/ being true to the recording no matter how hard they try. Why not focus your marketing efforts on your strengths - that you have the speaker that recreates the emotions of a live show at home. Emotion is what sells the speakers. Seems like a very dumb move by a supposed marketing genius.
