Jim, thanks for sharing. I think this is aimed at the ultra rich. Nothing wrong with that. My XVX will probably be sold with my estate, unless my son decides to keep it, which I doubt. If you remember, I was going to choose for my color Piano Black. Your suggestion to go with something other than this color was so helpful. Everytime I enjoy my Galaxy Grey color I remember your suggestion. I truly appreciate what you did for me.

Best

Charles

Wow. Those are some seriously nice options. In basic form those speakers are miles out of my league. With those options they become stratospherically so.

Charles, I am glad you were open minded on the color swap. Some speakers look great in black but when you are talking XVX's, XLF's or X2's I find black kind of blah and somewhat imposing.

I am in agreement with you that some of Wilson's paint options are a bit pricey. These special editions and the pearl finishes are stunning but add about $35k to XVX's. Not for everyone.

I am glad you are very happy with your XVX's. They must sound great with your subs.

If money was no object, the XVX in this color option would be my choice. Unless I hit the lottery, I’ll slum it with my Sasha DAW [emoji41]. Image1644337792.885461.jpg

Ars Gratia Artis. Exquisite attention to detail. Insofar as price is concerned, if you have to ask……….

Really nice!

Even if Wilson throws me the XVX for free, I still can't afford the paint cost, .

My preference is the 'Autumn' color. Matches my '21 Outback, which cost ~1/10th as much.
