It seems like some of you guys just like to throw stones at other people and knock them down. Once the bar is lowered you feel obligated to inform us that you are an expert in your field. Usually you are an engineer or a scientist, but always you are the keeper of all knowledge and wisdom. You wear your certificate of expertise like a name-tag on your shirt, and it infuses your ever growing angry commentary. Should we ask an honest question or make a comment in order to gain a better understanding of a topic, you respond by throwing another stone.What the Hell do we learn from that? Nothing.I know some of you guys have something really important to say and there is always something that we can learn from you. But I would rather learn it while feeling included, not excluded. And I don't ever feel any taller just because I'm standing on top of someone I knocked down.Not even sure why I typed this now. Maybe I'm just done with this shit.
You didn't notice that the Sophia III enclosure looks just like one of those trash cans with the triangular top and the lid that swings when you push in on it to dump something in it? It's the first thing about the speaker that struck me, it looks like a trash can. I wonder if it sounds that way too
If you're such a genius that knows so much about making speakers that Wilson and the rest don't, why aren't you in the speaker business?
First, how can you make such snarky comments about a product you've never used and second, if you're such a genius that knows so much about making speakers that Wilson and the rest don't , why aren't you in the speaker business? Wilson has built a pretty solid company out of their products, with quite a few units sold world wide. I'm sure that if you know how to make a speaker that is that much better than a pair of Sophia III's for no money, and you could make them consistently, while supporting a service and dealer network, you'd have the world beating a path to your door.Much fun as it is to poke fun at them, you don't stay in business and grow to the point they have if you're an idiot and you make junk. But we're all just supposed to trust you, a guy with a pair of tweaked 901's as being the know it all.I agree with Mike Nomad. This kind of crap doesn't help anyone.
Making a great pair of loudspeakers and selling them are two entirely different things. The fact that BOSE makes such mediocre products and yet sells them prodigiously is the answer to that question.Making them is easy, selling them is the hard part.
Forty years later and still selling them. A billion dollars burgers a year and privately owned starting out with just that. He must be doing something right. Somebody must be buying them.

I'm really enjoying these Tweaked-out 901's a lot more now ! When you find the G-SPOT !/quote]
If the Wilson Sophia III looks like a trash can, the Alexandria II looks like a robot with scoliosis Warning Will Robinson, DANGER! DANGER! http://www.wilsonaudio.com/product_alex.shtml
HFSG has done everything in his power to identify himself as a shill for Bose. He rants. He raves. He doesn't converse, debate or compare in any meaningful way. He just continues to flail. Does anyone take him seriously? Isn't he in violation of some policy?
