I think he’s saying it’s humble in terms of where it places in the spectrum of Wilson Audio systems. They’re a fairly vintage Wilson product, a second hand pair of those Maxx’s runs about $13k, he may have even got them closer to 10k considering one of the woofers was damaged. Those are the series 2 I linked as well, I think OP has the originals which came out in 1998, so they could be up to 25 years old. That’s a lot cheaper than what even their smallest speakers cost these days if you were to buy them in store. I mean just to put that in perspective, their little bookshelf speakers the TuneTot’s cost $10,000 new.

So yes, while obviously the system itself is in no way whatsoever humble, if you’re comparing it to where it places on the spectrum of Wilson speakers which go up to like $700k then you might consider it to be on the entry level side of things on that particular tier of audio equipment. It’s like someone posting on a supercar forum and calling their McLaren 540C “humble” because it only costs $185k and other users are showing off their $2 million dollar P1’s or their $20 million dollar F1s. The 540C is not a humble car but it’s a humble Mclaren.
