I would say that it is not just Jv who is a cheerleader. Jeff Fritz of Soundstage, Alan Sircon of HiFi+ and Paul Miller of Hi Fi news in the UK have all written VERY favorable reviews of the Q3.
.. Last time I checked it is still called Hi-Fi which would suggest accuracy I think .. Paths to reach Accuracy or if you prefer "accuracy", will be different, the same way Audi, BMW, Lexus or Mercedes approach performance or Luxury in cars .. The Mercedes C63 is an example .. it is geared toward performance with a touch of luxury (actually the target is the mighty M3, they have missed it ) same with Wilson's current lineup which if you follow the brand is more neutral than their predecessors ....well ... more accurate .. I have heard the X-2 Series I and the Series II and frankly the Series II is closer to neutral than ANY Wilson speaker I have heard, its owners would tell you that the Series II is more .... accurate than the one which was more ...euphonic ... I would think Wilson is also after some "accuracy" of sort, else what are doing? Reproducing? or creating? I would prefer my speakers to reproduce, I'll leave the creating to artists and producers ...speaking for my very own self here ....Their house sound is "accurate" and this is evident to anyone who listens to the speaker
I think Magico has passed Wilson in many ways. Unless Wilson revamps their product line in a big way at CES this year, they will be left behind. Its time for them to push forward and leave their 20 year old tweeter behind.
100% agree (and it's a shame as I've owned Wilsons twice)
My guess is Dave Wilson knows this and will surprise us all in the next year.

I think you are committing the cardinal sin of Marketing: You are approaching the marketing of specific products as you would have liked to be it to be marketed to you. And judging from what I have read here you seem to be a Wilson fan and as clearly not a Magico fan ...
Now on the Accuracy thing. You have consistently put accurate within quotes e.g you last post and likely those that came before ... ..

Time will tell how far Magico will go .. So far it looks like it will be very far...

Even though I love Magico (esp. the Q5, apart from the choked bass ;-) I agree: it would be a great commercial ...even if the only aim is to annoy Alon Wolf (which is never a bad thing) hahaCaesar, Great idea. Love it.
