Mike.......I read your post about the Dallas trip, visiting Mark, and enjoying the dealer audition. Sounded like fun. Those dealer demos can really burn a whole in your wallet sometimes. Even though I think the Classe M600 mono's are decent amplifiers, the D'Agostino and Wilson combo is the cat's meow. I also like that the Alexias speakers and the D'Agostino stereo power amp are made in the USA. Here's to many wonderful hours of listening pleasure. . . .

You are so right Debby!

The story about the shirt goes back to RMAF2012. When Wilson launched the Alexias at last year's event, Debby gave me a Wilson Audio shirt featuring the Alexias. I told Debby recently that detail also influenced my decision...

OK, Debby, how do other Alexia owners get a shirt : ) I would wear it in China too!

I can't begin to express how big an upgrade of the Salon2s the Sasha W/P would have been, let alone the Alexia!

Once they're broken in, especially with that amp, how are you going to get anything else done?

Did you listen at Audio Concepts? I heard their Alexia setup a few days ago while I was in town. They had it paired with the A'gostino Pre-amp and stereo amp. Sounded fantastic!

B - That's the place and setup. Although, I listened with the ARC Ref5SE (not the D'Agostino pre) since that is what I own.

Thx!
