Default The new Alexandria XLF is coming.

Announcing Alexandria XLF

Coming early 2012. The Alexandria XLF is a new model positioned above the existing Alexandria X-2 Series 2, which will continue in production. The retail price will be $195,000.00 U.S. Full details will be revealed in a press release December 15, 2011.

Preliminary information:
New driver technology developed by Wilson—details to come December 15, 2011. A completely new passive bass management system. Wilson’s have always been configurable in the time domain for each installation. The XLF designation refers to Wilson’s new bass management system. This simple system will allow users to optimize bass quality and extension to match the characteristics of the sound room. Since the system is completely passive, it avoids the sonic pitfalls endemic to all active bass management systems.

New Architecture. While instantly recognizable as an Alexandria, the XLF version has undergone a major cosmetic revision. Additionally, using Wilson’s latest cabinet-analysis tools, Wilson’s engineers lowered the already anishingly low resonant contribution of the enclosure.

The Alexandria XLF is constructed using Wilson’s latest composite materials, including S-material. Wilson is currently taking orders on a first-come, first-served basis. First shipments are expected early 2012. As mentioned, full details will be available December 15, 2011.

Oh, I didn't mean to sound as if I were complaining...just poking fun at myself! The introduction of a new flagship is always exciting for any manufacturer and its devotees.

This sounds like a serious upgrade. I can't wait to hear them. I love my Maxx 3's maybe some used X2's will hit the market and help others be able to enjoy them. I know these speakers are incredibly expensive, but really deliver in my opinion. The new drivers are interesting...those might migrate down into the other models....

Hi Deb, been on a journey of "audio enlightenment".... Can't say I've learned anything new along the way... I've been lost ever since Wilson's left my house!
