Beginning to believe....
Well, I'm a little over 1 mo away from decision time on the the XLF. When I first became aware of the possibility of having enough money to purchase an XLF, frankly, I thought there was little actual chance. Things have changed. I still have one or two hoops to jump through successfully, though.
There were so many issues I couldn't even begin to go into them on the forum. So I won't. But here's the question: The new Maxx will almost certanily be coming out in 2015. I really like the sound of my Maxx/Thor combo right now. Should I wait or should I purchase now? I can see the headline, "New Maxx beats XLF". So assuming I have the money (which I do) should I purchase the XLF or wait on the new Maxx? I bet the new Maxx will be a world beater. Advice would be much appreciated.:yes: |
Why would you think the a new Maxx will outperform a XLF?
Unless they also add increased adjustability to the a new Maxx in addition to new drivers/crossovers, it will still be easier to tweak a XLF (or X2) in difficult rooms or situations. |

You know they will add increased adjustability, IMO. They greatly improved Alexia's adjustability over the Maxx3. That's why it sounds so good. In addtion, I know the new Maxx will work in my room, based on the fact that I get superb sound from the old one. I don't mind waiting. I am playing devil's advocate. |

In 2015 you'll be wondering if you should wait for the XLF update -- something better is always on the horizon. I went through the same dilemma last month when I purchased the Sashas just prior to the Sasha 2 announcement but bought them anyway and never regretted it. I'd go with what you can afford now.

If money was no issue I would go with the XLF's. That said if you have other audio items you might want to upgrade then Alexia's a 1/4 the price or waiting for a new Maxx and about 1/3-1/2 of the price might me good. I would never push someone towards a purchase as large as the XLF unless they would never have buyers regret on spending that amount on speakers. |
