Playing devil's advocate here......when you have or compare two state of the art systems such as these, what are the criteria to determine whether one system is plainly better than the other? I've listened to tons of state of the art systems at dealers and at shows and I've seen that when you reach a certain price point, it tends to be slightly different flavors rather than flat out "way better". I've also found (especially at shows) that it's sometimes hard to reconcile quanitity (i.e. extremely low bass) vs. quality. Anyway, I don't doubt that the XV system is up there in the top tier of state of the art but it's hard to believe that it would be "plainly" better than the comparable Wilson system.
