Is Wilson losing their marketing edge?

I think Wilson is still #1 selling hi-end speaker in Poland.

Is Wilson losing their high end customer base?

We have just seen long time Wilson owners Steve Williams and Mike Malinowski move on from Wilson to Zellaton.

Is it Wilson's ever increasing crazy pricing,
lack of performance for the given pricing or
audiophiles getting bored of the Wilson sound.

XV-1,

Happily audiophiles change - it shows they are still living this hobby!

Wilson currently sells very well in my country, Portugal - I was told that 2024 was a great year to our distributor.

Probably some people get this erroneous feeling reading WBF because the active membership of WBF in not representative of the real audiophile community.

But surely during the last ten years the competition in the high-end speaker market become stronger.

A living proof of that! A close friend of mine has not one, but TWO pairs of XVXs here in Warsaw. And Alexia V in his bedroom.

The fact that your friend has money to spend indiscriminately does not mean for one moment that he understands sound...

But also does not mean the opposite ...

Stereo sound should be listened and enjoyed, happily only a few people need or want to understand it.

That's why I added a Winking emoji.

The fact that some people feel better when they disparage others, make me feel sad.

I completely did not disparage or try to disparage, I suggest you read my post again.
