I too hesitate: Maxx3 or Alexia?

[Jean-Marc jmajma]

Having a good deal on Maxx3, having always dreamed of Maxx3 after a memorable listening session, coming from WP8, having to place them in my living room and not a dedicated room, knowing my beloved half doesn't like the Maxx3 design while loving the Alexia's one, having MC1.2KW without the will to change my system,etc etc....

I don't know what to do...

1-stay with WP8 (and my money).
2-go for Alexias, I really loved on last listening session,
3-go for Maxx3 for less money.

What would you do/what do you think?

Thanks.

Jean-Marc.

Maxx3 all the way for me Jean Marc !
But you knew that already...

I actually prefer the sound of the Alexia over the Maxx 3, but either one would be a fine choice.

Jim,

what does the Alexia do better than the Maxx 3 ?

You'll compare the sound and choose. If it's important, the Maxx's will be much more imposing in your room than Alexia.

Not so easy. He won't be able to hear both in his room.
Jean Marc, you know what : buy the Alexia's ! then, in a few months / years ( I have time ) the Maxx 4 will be available. You will sell me the Alexias at 30 % of their list price and you will get the Maxx 4 !

How does it sound to you ?

Normally I prefer larger speakers but in this instance the Alexia just seemed to sound right. Maybe it was the set-up.
