However there equipments looks pretty bad ass and not only functional, but also piece of art.  I could never justify buying their speakers, I would gladly take them for free though.<br><br>I will have to stick with my Paradigm Studios for now and possibly Paradigm Signature or B&W Nautilus 800 series down the road, but that is going to be my cap for spending on speakers and even then, $5k per pair is kind of pricey for me.<br><br>However, if I did win the lotto or something, I would hunt down a pair of the B&W Nautilus, I am sure they sound great, but they would also be a cool conversation piece!<br><br><a href="http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/display.aspx?infid=1729&terid=2003" rel="nofollow">http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/display.aspx?infid=1729&terid=2003</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zargon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 9:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilson Audio putting the hammer down on bass]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you are buying Wilson Audio, I am not sure Bryston is exactly a true match to obscene amount of money for a amp.  I consider Bryston obtainable in my home theater quest, $3k for a 2 channel amp (4B SST) that should last you a life time is really a drop in the bucket, especially with their 20 year warranty.<br><br>Maybe those Krell Mono-blocks that put out 350 watts and are something like $6,000.  You however will have to buy a room for the amps alone...<br><br><a href="http://www.avrev.com/gifs/krell350/krell_350_amp.gif" rel="nofollow">http://www.avrev.com/gifs/krell350/krell_350_amp.gif</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zargon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilson Audio putting the hammer down on bass]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</guid><description><![CDATA[the watch dog sub is also very nice, Wilson makes the best speakers on the planet in my opinion, the Maxx 2 were the best sounding speakers I have heard, they were also hooked up to the levinson 51 and 33 amps but hey they sure did sound nice.  You do get much better value out of the paradigm signature stuff for home theater.  But you could also look at Wilson Sophia's they hold their own.  Also Sonus Faber Cremona stuff is really nice, I got to hear this stuff hooked up to some Classe gear, very nice.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Juice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2008 9:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilson Audio putting the hammer down on bass]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, this sub is half the size/weight of the previous model, the XS:  <a href="http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/wilson_xs_sub.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/wilson_xs_sub.htm</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 2:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilson Audio putting the hammer down on bass]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</guid><description><![CDATA[but, this one goes up to 11!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Angry Intern]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2008 7:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilson Audio putting the hammer down on bass]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/29/wilson-audio-putting-the-hammer-down-on-bass/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Krell MRS is in my opinion the best subwoofer in the world. Why? Electronics are as important as the drivers because the signal can be degraded by the crossover as it passes to the main speakers. Krell electronics do not degrade the audio signal at all. "Cheap" subwoofers contain cheap electronics. Some folks have power cords more expensive than $1000 subwoofers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Charles Ruark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2008 1:41PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
