Definitely looks like an all-day job to put them together, and that doesn't even include setting them up in the room!

Yes, that's a lot of parts (and a lot of crates to hold on to.)

Took me a while to dial the Alexia in my room back in the day, I can only imagine the XVX with all the adjustments. Not that I will ever have to worry about setting up an XVX.

That's too many dead presidents to listen to dead composers...

It's clear there is some incredible forethought and mechanical engineering and industrial design put into the XVX. These videos really show how impressive every aspect of the design and construction is. Thanks for posting....

I have always admired Wilson's relentless pursuit of advancing their products with ideas and designs that break the traditional mold and allow them to achieve that which seemed impossible only a few years ago.

The flagship products continue to inspire and impress with technological progress but the bread and butter models are also elegantly brought forward in evolutionary steps with the benefit of trickle down technology, the knowledge and experience which was gained from the flagship research.

I have never felt that Wilson has tried to alienate their loyal clients by some radical designs and completely new directions in the hopes of generating sales and getting clients to upgrade. Skipping a generation or two still yields a familiar, yet often improved version of the model that has faithfully serenaded the owner. AT that point, the client is perhaps getting ready to upgrade and ease into the new model to enjoy for the next 4-5 years.

Some very select clients will breathe the rarified air of the Wamm Master Chronosonic, some will revel in the XVX but there are many, many, more who get to enjoy the rest of the lineup that never fails to impress down to the smallest and most affordable model.
