Picture of the reviewer's system before the Alexia 2.

Beats me -- you think I know? Maybe he had V1 loaners before the V2's showed up?

I was curious what electronics he was using and found those pics of his system embedded in the article. Thought I'd pass it on is all.

Best Sir,

Bob

I think Tim owns the Alexia V1s, and had the V2s for this review, which is wonderfully eloquently written, as we're used to from him.

I believe you are correct Bart -- in an April 2015 review of Lamm 2.1's he stated his associated speakers were:

Loudspeakers: Wilson Audio Specialties Sasha W/P and Alexia

So, now owns -- the V2's. Just an older picture.

Best Sir,

Bob

Thanks, Bart. I owned the original Alexia and now own the Alexia Series 2. You can find my current system listed under my AA profile. At Positive Feedback you may be able to click on an author's name at the top of an article to see their information.

The cat [emoji250] likes to be close the heat of the amplifiers.
