Hmmm. Those photos look familiar. Oh, they are mine from my phone


The Alexx's do sound awesome and the best I have heard any system sound at the distributors shop. Interesting they are smaller than the Maxx3's.

the price is silly stupid and way too much of a gap between the Alexia and Alexx now.

They could be the best speakers in the world but they are UGLY as sin. If I had the money i'll look at something else.

Trust me the menacing Dalek robot look grows on you as they are a real man's speaker in looks.

My wife and daughters hate the looks

Alexx are shorter but they actually weigh more than Maxx.

Yes about 7.8% heavier according to the specs. Both blody heavy and the wheels are a necessity to move either

Just be sure to remove the wheels for the final set. Very large difference indeed.

Hi Dan

Even in person the colour was not my cup of tea, however all of my mates who are car enthusiasts love the colour. The speaker itself look awesome with the grills off.

Have a look at them with the creme grills on if you like ugly I could not listen to the Alexx with those hideous colour grills on. So much better without them on. Luckily you can order any colour you like.

I am a Wilson fan, but I am not feeling the blue. Now black with black grills would be just fine.

I liked that deep maroon color Serge had on the Wilsons Alexia's in his home theater several years ago.
