Default Woke up with the fever
Add me to the list jumping onboard the Alexia train. I have to say it was love at first sight for me and one listen was all it took. Quetion to those who have taken the plunge what amps are you using as I think that may be my next adventure after I get them broken in.

Congrats, Hondo! Not a bad train to be on - ask Serge and Viper

What color?

Thanks Debbie I just added the Watchdog and controller and the surrounds and all are Ghilles green. On a separate note do you give tours of your factory as I will be skiing in Salt Lake City the week of February 18th.

Post some photos. Is it the passive Watchdog? What are you powering it with?

How do you like it? Have you compared it to anything else such as JL or REL?

Thanks!

TB

Some popular amps---each makes for significantly different sound presentation but all are synergistic with Wilsons in alphabetical order:

Tube:
Audio research (Ref 150 or above)
BAT
CAT
Doshi
Lamm (need 1.2R on Alexia)
VAC
VTL (450 III monos or above)

SS:
Ayre monos
D'Agostino
Gryphon
Spectral

I've heard them all with Wilsons except the Gryphons and Doshi. My personal fav tubes are ARC 250s and VTL siegfrieds: and ss---Dags (stereo or mono). I like Wilsons with tubes generally but those Dags are really close in that they have a sweet tube sound with an iron fist. Listen to as many as possible. They are all winners.
