Exile XM7 vs Wetsounds Pro80

[Timmy!]

The way a speaker sounds is always subjective. The good news is that if you go with Wetsounds, Exile or Kicker, you have great support no matter what your listening preference is. Go listen to them all and then make your choice.

Wetsounds are the best dont settle for second best!
Now when am I getting my Rev 8's...I cant wait. I want them ASAP!!!
Seriously though. I do think WS sound the best. I upraded my 03 inboats with WS and have never been so happy. I pre-ordered the rev 8 without hearing it. But I already thought WS tower speakers were better than the rest so why not get the best they have to offer. Cant wait to get these things up on my tower and Jammin!

Brian,

Your quote "I always prefer not to get into the next newest latest greatest thing coming down the pipe"

REALLY!! How long have you been talking/hyping up that XM-9? I think is has been a year now, right.....You even mention it in your post but it isn't shipping now is it.

So Brian. You still haven't answered me about a 3rd party test? That would then be case closed

Tim
Wet Sounds

PS: The REV 8 are NOW shipping. REV 10 on the way and be shipping in 4 weeks.

I never seen Brian even Bring up the XM-9 until Earmark posted them on their site way ...before there was even a thought of a release date.

Tim- I have owned Wetsounds, Bullet and now Exile and a 3rd party test doesn't mean anything as it relates to how its going to sound to ear of a perspective buyer. Most people are going to buy these systems sight un-seen by word of mouth or internet forums. Wetsounds has been the brand of choice of tower speakers for many years but not everyone needs to be on the bandwagon. We all choose our systems for particular reasons. If the OP wanted to seal the deal he would go listen to comparable systems not XM-7's vs. pro 80's Heck I spent last weekend in a 2010 RZ2 with pro 60's and 80's, a Malibu with an Exile Hybrid system, a supreme with 3 pair of Exile SXT-65's, and James Walkers Supreme with 2 pair Exile SXT-65's and each sounded and were set up differently. Tim I'm sure you are plenty busy and have plenty of market share but please don't feel the need to get on the defense on this site everytime another brand comes up, we are not all clones and must have the same system.

As for Brian@ Exile

I personally reached out to Brian for 2 reasons 1.) Exile is close enough to me to be local. 2.) I wanted a speaker that was removable. Brian has helped me every step of the way with this being my first ever full install and didn't even push me to trade in my stock Wetsounds interior speakers plus he answers every phone calls and e-mails personally. That was enough to sign me up and it had nothing to do with one being better than the other.

These debates are only good for all of you as folks will get on one side of the fence or the other its like the Ford vs. Chevy debate or here at Tige owners the who makes the best tool box debate. In the end your all winners I have personally seen how much product Exile is shipping on a daily basis for only being in the tower speaker biz for a year or so and with wetsounds being well established im sure Wetsounds doesn't have anything to worry about right?

"....until Earmark posted them on their site...."
I knew we were to blame in some way but I just wasn't sure how.

Btw, my favorite tower speaker is the one we are installing on a boat right now.

Actually, it was a guy that posts under the handle NuBu on WW and 06VLX on BuCrew that started last year talking about the 9+" XM9 and the other 11 new Exile products that were gonna be released this spring.

Hope you don't exaggerate this much about everything .

Not sure if I let the cat out of the bag on that one or not, doubt it. Just because the "all knowing" chpthril doesn't know about something doesn't mean it isn't so.... I talked about 2 products by the way. Something else still might happen . The first one sure did didn't it...

Morning Longtooth?

Folks, let me introduce aka NuBu/06VLX

I didnt say I did know about it, just dont run my mouth about inside product info until I know its ok.

Yes, you did talk about 2 specific products that were due to release the first of the year. The XM9 was one and the other has since been pushed back to next year per Brian. You also said you were told about a whole bunch of other stuff coming out this Spring, but at this point, just the XM9s are just now fixing to get ready to start shipping.

Yes, the XM9's are reality, but 6 months past the original date you set for them.

I do not know what or how much you were told by Brian and I do not know how much you made up cause I wasnt there, but IMO, it was a mistake for Exile to share the amount of info with you that they did. You biased opinion is based on the discount price you paid for what you got and not an honest evaluation You have done, IMO, more harm to exile and thier rep, then you have good in what you call "promoting" of their gear. You stir up controversy by bashing other products and attacking them personally. You also flame anyone who desnt wear the same owner-goggles as you. Just an FYI, most can read through the and see it.

Sorry to have even further hijacked this thread.

Brian, this is not an attack on you, Exile or your product.....I love Exile and so do my customers. Kick the guys like NuBu to the curb and let your products and customer service speak for themselves.

Tim, Just keep up what you are doing.

Phil......sham less plug

Oh, if it wasnt you, i'll search back through BuCrew and see who it was and post a correction/retraction. I'll be man enough to admit if I am incorrect.

[longtooth]

I expected a little more couth from someone who has been "professionally" installing for a couple years now. I didn't give any inside details about any product FYI, Intact I think you are the first to call anything I said inside info. I did get a package discount, and so would anyone else who nutted up and dropped the coin on everything I bought. All in all didn't expect anything other than a slam from the dollar store of marine audio installer. I see your kinda a cockstar over here.16000 posts geez glad you finally got a job. Brains a big boy, he'll do what he wants.
