There's a good correlation between audiophiles and world-wide-web enthusiasts. We've met some fine ones working in the IT departments of Bank One, in Chicago, and Nortel Networks, in Ottawa. While these jobs don't develop the funds needed to buy higher-end components (let's say, over $100,000), .com proponents and even bankers, looking for something to talk about, are some of the most ardent proponents of stereo replay.
Wilson, with their X1 Grand Slam, and WAMM, especially, was one of the main-stays of the audiophile community. Many remember their WATT/Puppy, and who can count the successive generations of them seen on AudioGon(e).
Wilson is more known for their Tennis, and this is another correlation with the audiophile enthusiast community. A back-yard tennis court is one of the prerogative interrogative prerequisites to engage successively in the audiophile mindset.
For us, Wilson was known best for their WITT, an affordable floor-banger, which in 1992, a very good year, was the epitome of affordable entry-level loudspeaker at $8888/pair. In some respects, its the designable speaker that should be still made, today. Not very heavy, and most good for boom, pop, and tizz.
Whether that is new years, prop creation, and a happy tizzyness, or just low-bass production, SPL details and a decent top-end, that is your jurisprudence.
Wilson presently makes an attractive model, the Alexia, although we give nods back to the WITT, of old.
