Had my Alexia's since Sunday. Came from Sasha 2 and before that Sophia 3. Still burning in I guess, but love the clean bass, and the smooth treble. The Alexia's seem to "disappear" more than the Sasha and Sophia did - perhaps this is due to the individual adjustability of the midrange and the tweeter.

Glad you are happy Jax! The Alexias are a fabulous speaker, but then again, you know that...

Here's my question: Alexias or Maxx 3s?

Maxx 3 if you're can accommodate it.

I'd do Alexia's and look at MAXX later. Wilson will probably update the tweeter, and might make MAXX as adjustable as the Alexia. I read in print somewhere, where David Wilson said the Alexia was a more "accurate" speaker than the MAXX. Of course the MAXX will have more scale than the Alexia - although in my room Alexia sounds HUGE. I like its clean bass too - very clean. I am started at the low bass on some of my recordings. I had one passage with a walking pizzicato bass section - was always muddy. On Alexia's, crystal clear all the down to the lowest note. I was really impressed.

Martin Collums in his Alexia review makes the following comments: While I still love the MAXX III, the Alexia is faster, more open, clearer, better focused, more upbeat, more transparent and has more tactile bass and faster, more upbeat rhythms. However, it represents a significantly tougher load, and is not quite as powerful – though more than powerful enough to set the musical standard for size and price. |

The difference in load is a trade-off that factors into amp eligibility, while the difference (nominalists pls excuse) in 'powerfullness' trades off against all the attributes he mentions. There are some close to the speaker, who consider it to be Wilson's best effort yet. It certainly is tube friendly while skipping over the angst one finds with certain other brands. Of course if you have a really big room or a really big need there are alternatives. |

I had the same debate with myself last October, and in the end I chose Alexia because I had the chance to be able to test them in my own living room and with my gear during a few days: I was so in love with what I heard, and it was so wonderfully matching in my deco ( I feared they were too big, and as a result they had a very positive WAF!) that the decision was easy, especially when my last question was about the price and the answer of my elder son: YOLO ( you only live once).
Moreover, I guess the mids and the highs are more refined on Alexias vs Maxx3, and the tremendous and wonderful bass is to die for; is there more impact with Maxx3, or more what else? Aesthetically, I prefer the Alexias. Let me say I never looked back and I am over satisfied with my Alexias. But you should consider the room size, dedicated or living room, gear, price, WAF(?), and aesthetic. |
