Whats the big deal if the guy enjoys it that way , he definetively will know by now how its done " the audiophile way "
I guess he wants to get good high bandwith large scale sound and still enjoy the living space and watch tv on the system .
No big deal at all. I just look at it like, for example, you never taking your Ducati outside of downtown Amsterdam. At least make some noise in the A10 tunnels!

It's off topic but I remember the looks of some of the riders when we showed up to a track day with two Ducati's. The bike's true potential isn't realized until you ride it on a track. I would rather crash it there than on the street. It allows the end user to fully appreciate the workmanship put into the machine. Which is my analogy. The true potential of that system will never be a realized by the owner.
if you simply observe most any Wilson print advertisement the Wilson speakers are set in 'life-style' settings with zero sonic consideration and maximum artistic consideration.
audiophiles care about such things, but evidently their market research tells them it's not important in helping the dealer to sell the product. so a Wilson facebook page will again reflect that 'civilian' viewpoint.
I think we take ourselves too seriously sometimes in assuming everyone should share our priorities. sure; maybe in some cases it's ignorance and we assume they would change the set-up if only they realized, but I'd bet mostly it's simply a matter of lifestyle choices.

In the end, it still sounds pretty good...Better than the parents victrola all in one console unit. What you say makes sense. Not all people are as immersed in such things audiophile.
Wilson (and other high end companies trying for a more broad based appeal) selling their products to more than just 'hair shirt' audiophiles fuels a healthier Wilson Audio more equipped to develop more and better products and push performance for all of us.
this is a good thing as long as companies like Wilson stay connected to their passion for performance.
I think if the most successful high end company could only sell to 'serious' (from our perspective) listeners it would have a 'chilling' effect on forward progress.
