How loud or at what SPL do the Alexx make the bass that you are looking for. Is it over about 84dB?

I dont have a db meter. When the specialist I hired positioned them and concluded bass was good, he listened at much higher volumes than I do. It was almost uncomfortable. I listen to a lot of rock music at pretty good volumes.

if you have a iPhone there is a pretty inexpensive ap that will give you a pretty good idea.

I don't like to listen too loud either. My ears need to last me.

Please call Wilson Audio and ask for Jerron. He can help you to get this straightened out.

I see nothing that cannot be corrected by properly aligning and positioning a pair of Alexx in your room.

Well, that answers the $64K question -- apparently it wasn't someone who has attended the Wilson Audio WASP training.

Get some help from Wilson Audio as Metaphacts suggests -- you'll be better off than with the one you hired, regardless of his qualifications.

Best Sirs,

Bob
