I am not going to say I will never hunger for another pair of Wilson speakers again, but having learnt my lessons in these 2 years of frivolous changes, I have decided to adopt a very serious approach before I make another move - simply following your footsteps and if possible, have the gears doing a shoot out over my place. That would be best. Gears and Space harmony is now very important! No more impressive specs and reviews will the the basis of my decisions! They are just guides from now on.
Having said that, the list of "must listen and if possible, compare to the Violons in MY own home" would be the new Wilson Sasha WP & Maxx 3. The others would be the Magico 5 & XRT1k. Given the relationships I have with my dealers, the only possible chance to happen would be the Wilsons! As Magico 5 and XRT1k's are indent items which means I will never get to compare before buying, a situation I would avoid from now on.
Meanwhile, I am still mesmerized by listening to light! And never a moment had I stop loving the music produced.
Once again, many thanks to you for presenting this article to revive my speaker's interest though now, it will have to be a very strong shootout results in MY own place before the change persuasion can happen.
Cheers!

Jerry, there should be another review coming out for the Maxx 3 as Mikey Fremer from Stereophile should be now close to writing it.
The fun part of audio is that there is always that captures our imagination and becomes a dream that may or may not materialize but is so much fun to fantasize about. Of course when those dreams do come true.....
I am sure you are really enjoying your Acapella's, they are great speakers from what I understand.
Time will tell. You should really listen to the Sasha when the opportunity presents itself to determine if they offer something to you that is more than Acapella. It may be that the Acapella is already a perfect speaker for you and your listening environment.
If the Sasha or Maxx 3 does something even more, well, you know what to do...
