I've read about Vern Credille & the research that goes into the composite materials used in Wilson's cabinet. Wilson is wasting their time and money on the engineering that goes into the different materials if all they cared about was a "paint job".
I have some controversial opinions too...like Magico speakers. Heard the Q5 at a local dealer and they seemed dry to me. I acknowledge their amazing build quality but I was more delighted but the Paradigm signature 8's in the next room down the hall...they made more music to my ears. Maybe it was the electronics. In the same room as the Magico's (other end) was a pair of Revel Salon 2's and they sounded amazing with ARC electronics....so I don't believe the room was causing my opinion of the Magico Q5.

jax4736.......At least you didn't say Magico is just a fancy box full of metal braces and screws.
