Nice to see how he involves the whole family.
I think I must have been unlucky with Wilson speakers. Absolute Sounds ruined the whole experience fro me as they were rigged up with Krell amps in an AV system. It just sounded like a standard Bose cinema system ie. crap. Hugely 'impressive' with that 'emotion' drained out completely.
It would be interesting to hear them in a proper system. Certainly the engineering is impressive - visually at least.

Agree nice seeing the whole family involved and the kids dancing/playing
I love the bit about the old guys having Wilson Watt Puppies with a Rega 3

I've heard Wilsons badly setup, too. However, I've also heard Sophias and Alexandrias properly setup, and make no mistake, they are superlative speakers.

I'm often wary when I hear their speakers as a couple of times they've over-exaggerated some of the things that they can do so well - the soundstage and placement of image. The last time I heard a system with them in (Sashas), I recall a drum kit that filled the end wall of the very big room, both left to right and from floor to ceiling. This impressed several people but it was utterly wrong to my ears - a kit twenty foot wide by about twelve feet tall? No thanks!
However, I have also head their speakers sound utterly beguiling.

It just goes to show, Chris, that even speakers as good as those don't set themselves up, neither do they 'just work' in any room. Synergy, as usual, is everything.

Yep - speaker placement is the big thing to get right first in any system.
