It's an interesting guessing game.
The Woofers in that left spkr do look smaller than the XLF, but keep in mind the Woofers on the WAMM (10.5 and 12.5) are smaller than the XLF (13 and 15). And, the Alexx uses the WAMM woofers.
It's the use of the
Chronosonic name that intrigues me. At present any speaker with Chronosonic in its name brings immediate associaton with the WAMM, and I suspect Wilson sees value in that association and the lineage its use will create, tracing back to David Wilson. Remember the WAMM is limited production - Bill are they all sold? Imagine the Wilson lineup without the WAMM. I'd be surprised if a speaker named Chronosonic was second in the line-up behind a speaker named Alexandria.
If any of that makes sense, it could be the Chronosonic XVX is the new top tier model. The XLF is what, somewhere around $220K? We're told the XVX is not $400k, but there's a lot of room between $220K and $400K to fit, say, a $335K+ speaker.
Joe P.'s 5 drivers question is also interesting. (It's actually 6 on the WAMM, 4 midrange and 2 tweeters, one rear firing - yeah I too forget about the one in the back .) With its rear firing tweeter, the XLF has 4. If the XVX has 5 or 6, that's a pretty good sign its going in the WAMM's spot.
Again - it's all speculation - we'll know soon enough. Fun!
