I have three MXR20s, one each for L/C/R. I use the VXR20 for the Alidas. As I mentioned in my link, which 2CH sources such as my Vivaldi stack, Naim CD555 or Linn LP12se - I connect directly to the KXR20 and only the L/R amps and speakers are active. For all video sources, the RS20i sends a passthrough signal to the KXR and seperate center/surround/sub signals to the other amps/subs. Not quite as nice/simple as a dedicated 2CH system but gets lots of use by me for music and family/friends for movies
for a couple years I also had ARC Ref 250 amps for L/R - and would swap speaker cable and input cable to them for 2channel and than back to MXR for HT. with the "20" upgrade, I actually started enjoying the MXRs over the 250s but its a personal preference thing. I got rid of the 250s but still use a Ref40/Ref150 with Duette2s in my cabin. Last edited by enatai252; 01-18-2017 at 05:52 PM. |

A bit after getting the Sophias, I just shut off the center and surround channels as the other speakers (VA) did not mesh well with the Sophias.
Rather than buy yet more speakers, I just stopped using the center and back channel speakers and they are now in a storage closet. I don't really miss the additional channels. The Sophias are so dynamic, detailed, and spatial...all the things we love about them...they work well for my infrequent movie viewing. For some movies, I do use the LFE input on the REL. But for most movies, I just set the Sophias for "large" and use the REL high-level (speakon) cable and its great. But, if could put in Wilson center and surrounds and sub (and stay married), I would...just 'cuz I like playing with gear. |

I have a full Wilson home theater. MAXX 2s for L/R, Watch 2 for center, Sophia 1s for surround. It’s a great setup.

As my room is almost completed after over a year of house renovations, Alexia/Mezzo combination for home theatre is top notch. I spent th afternoon doing some fine tuning with positioning and the SPL meter, before loading the new Star Wars, supremely awesome!

Audiohippo. Your profile pics show B&W for the mains. I’m assuming those are older pics. How do the Alexias compare to them?

Yes, if you skip through the pages you will see up to date pictures. I owned B&W for many years 803D/800D and then 802D2. The switch to what was then the Sasha v2's was a dramatic change in clarity and overall sonics. The Alexia's are again a massive step above the Sasha's. Alexia's in combination with the Mezzo is first class all the way.
