Congratulations Adrian on your purchase of the XVX line. I can only imagine how thrilled you are. Greg
Story-time for audiophiles…I love it! Keep up the awesome videos!
What an interesting video. I often get impatient and skip though videos but this one was over before I knew it.
It describes the journey to owning the XVX in an intimate way. Very well done!
Although I love the banter back and forth on your videos this one is welcomed. I am Wilson Audio fan and love my Alexia’s. Some day I would like to move up to the AlexxV. The XVF is too much money but glad you’re able to achieve having them. I can imagine how special they are to listen to. I appreciate all your videos and thank you for taking the time to share your honest opinions.
Adrian great video, I’m looking forward to your assessment of the XVX’s. Your passion is so evident and is what sets you apart from the competition!
Thanks! It is fun to know about these speakers in the cost is no object world, and have a general idea as to their quality and design features.
I know this is going to be good. Thanks again for another vid!
Thank you for sharing. Great story and information.
Can't wait for the next video. Make sure you talk about associated equipment that paired well.
If I had the money and space, I would certainly buy a pair. And if someone asked me why, the answer would be ‘because I could’ 🙂
that's a poor reason for buying a audio system.. you buy because their sound effects you.. not because 'you can'.
G'day Adrian it's Shane from Australia. Nice solo effort mate yes a bit different from what where used to seeing but you pulled it off superbly. Love the stories about how you came to know David. I have a set of watt puppy system sevens and I'm absolutely in love with them. Maybe when my Lotto ticket comes in I too will be able to afford those beautiful things behind you. Very much looking forward to the next video to get you impressions on how they sound. 🙂👍🎧
This is an excellent video for an audiophile such as myself who loves Wilson speakers. If I only I could afford those speakers, although I am enjoying Sasha 2s.
Very much enjoyed this video thank you for your time and effort putting it together.
Very nice Adrian
It has been 7 days since I first heard these speakers at your place . Life has not been the same . I am convinced this is the way to go . Life is too short to drink cheap wine and listen to bad music system
Awesome video!!! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Very interesting story.
A retired middle school teacher could never afford those! Not even in 100 lifetimes! Would love to hear them! That would be as close as I would ever get!
Happy Canada day!
Adrian I enjoy listening to your stories as much as I enjoy getting information on your product lines, I look forward to more videos on the Wilsons! If you will forgive a bit of an off topic question, what are those diffuser panels behind you and do you carry them now? I don't see them on the store page.
Yes his stories are great,! Well spoken
another great video thumbs up!
Yaaay,
No rude interruptions!
what are they hooked up to?
When they were from Russia they might have been nice but they were probably just that - mafia. If you became rich in Russia you had to be part of the mafia and it has not changed ever since.
The price is just over (well, more due to currency exchange) the average cost of a house in Prince Edward County, where I hope to move. For me that will be a stretch, so it begs the question of how much is the cost of ‘audio nirvana’. I am NOT dunking on the price - everything is relative, of course. But those of us of more modest means seek our hi fi pleasure within a smaller budget. What I really like about these videos is the pure honesty and sensible subjectivity … there is nothing ‘objective’ in hi fi. But being honest and upfront about the equipment that tries to deliver musical pleasure is refreshing.
Not nearly as much as this nonsense cost!
Nice. Real impressions of an end game system. And you own one! Maybe later or much later you could provide how the less expensive products in the line up compares to this and it's natural competitors or alternatives. Room size appears important ie those in apartment size homes...Cheers.
Why are the cables on the backside not hidden, they can be seen from the front also
I have the Boyuurange A50 Mk3 (or Mk2?) 300B tube amp that Steve Gutenberg reviewed. I love that thing. Such a bargain for the money and soonds holographic and fantastic!
Those look so cool
Super
I have a few of these in my backyard doin outdoor duties...
Not even in my dreams
Was there no followup video for this?
The fact that there are 7 people who do not like this video shows that you cannot please everyone
What brand of diffusers is that behind you? I might want to get some?
Snapp..
Yes please let me know if you find the plans
Adrian how would you describe the sound between the XVX & the XLF? And if you owned the XLF would it be enough difference to pay up for in your opinion-thanks
Margins are tight in the audio business ))
wheres the next video link?
The XVX looks surprisingly slim …at least from this angle.
I might like the looks of an Alexandria XLF better but haven’t seen both speakers in person yet 🤓
What is the rest of the system feeding into the Wilson speakers?
Over $300,000 a pair, no matter how good they are, thats an insane amount of money, if i had this kind of money i think i would rather buy a Lamborghini aventador with that amazing v12 glory, but i would own speakers and a system for around $50,000-100,000,
Now with a limited budget my system is about $10,000 witch are are lot for my budget, my car is about $25,000 so nothing crazy
Nah, it's time to go electric. Between the new Teslas and the Remac Nevera, you'll have the quickest production cars on the street and track PERIOD! Handling and top speeds are quite impressive, not to mention increased endurance from the latest battery technology. I wish I could afford one, but fixed income in retirement prevents this for many of us.
@@garysmith8455 not for me i prefer to hear the engine growl, not a fan of electric cars, and will never be that either, but i am not stoping anyone from liking it,
Did you have to pay $329K for yours?
If I had the cash $$$……
Guys, i love to listen to this kind of stories, BUT your „s“ sounds are quite harsh on the phone, especially given that you do speak quietly and therefore i have the phone speakers louder. Just to inform you. Apart from this, you do a great job, keep it up 😃
I wonder, are they designed to look like robots intentionally? Amazing speakers but ugly
I think they’re gorgeous! They look like H.R. Giger was chief designer. I can imagine Aliens kicking back to some tunes when they’re not impregnating and/or acid burning unsuspecting humans.
@@TheCamerlengo7 I’m sure you can use that selling pitch to your wife 😂😂😂
I listened some time,but don't like all these only expensive equipment without any sound to 🙉 hear,so just nice commercial audio talk!!??
I'm sorry, but those are pretty ugly speakers. If I were to spend that kind of money, I would have gotten something unique. Don't care for the Star Wars theme. OMA would have been the appropriate choice for over 300K
Speak louder!!!
wtf??? no sound recording???? only your speach???!!!
