New speakers
Well ... just got my newest upgrade all setup and been listening most of the day. Will follow up with some impressions after I’ve spent some time listening. So far though the upgrade from Sasha 2 to Alexx is amazing.

George, beautiful setup. Let us know your sonic impressions of your upgrade. Absolute congrats! Alexx is fantastic speaker. I see you are using front ports. It certainly looks like to me you know how to setup Wilsons. Of course use of the front port is room and taste dependent but I see you have the tweeters pointed straight at your ears as they should be from you listening position. The thing that attracted me to Wilsons from the beginning was on axis listening. With other speakers I have owned I have never understood exactly how much to toe in or out. You are told to begin with isosceles triangle and then adjust but how much of a triangle? How much adjustment? Although the Alexx is very heavy and there are many options, the end result should always be on axis listening with the correct settings for height and distance. Again my congratulations! A very clean, elegant, well thought out system. I am happy for you.

What color is your Alexx? Again super congrats! A purchase and acquisition well done. May you enjoy them for many years! p.s. I know you will, but be sure to fill out your warranty card or have the dealer register them. For some reason I did not on my Maxx3 and Alexx. Don't know why. Just plain forgot. I did not forget with my XVX. It is registered at Wilson. I have no doubt Wilson would honor the speaker but for this kind of investment, cross the t's and dot the i's.

I have had time to think about the differences I hear between my XVX and my Alexx. The Wilson sound signature did not change in the least bit between the two. I did not purchase my XVX as I said repeatedly because of dissatisfaction in any way with my Alexx. I bought it because I'm getting older. My hearing will go and I don't purchase gear to admire it. I think my main question on the XVX was the mid. Would it in some significant way sound different/better than the older mid. Honestly, I would say so if otherwise, the answer is no. Anyone thinking about a Wilson should know that the difference in the XVX is incremental only. This is greatly to Wilson's credit, IMO. I enjoyed the Alexx immensely. Ditto for the XVX. To my ears you have got to spend a lot more money to beat the Alexx and even then, the improvement is only incremental. I said all along the Alexx was an extremely good value at 109,000.00. Nothing I hear in my XVX has changed my mind. |
