Thanks everyone! I have already set up a date for my dealer to come over and set them up. This is scheduled for Sunday Dec 8th.
Yes, I'll have the Alexias in the house for about a week before they are unpacked and set. It's ok, I have some business travel during this time so the agony of seeing the boxes will not be there...

Yet another reason to leave them alone and wait for my dealer. I don't want to have a small accident and scratch them. What's another week...

Mike.......I see in your signature you ordered the D'Agostino Stereo Amp to power your new Wilson Alexias speakers. That should be a fabulous combination. A nice choice over the Classe amps in my opinion. Looking forward to your impressions and photos.

Heartly congrats...
I got mine since 2 weeks now (3 weeks between the order and the delivery here in Paris), they are FANTASTIC, never had such an upgrade in my system. |

Interestingly, getting the Alexias was not really in my plans. I visited a dealer in Dallas to listen to the D'Agostino amp. I was looking at this amp as well as the Classe M-600 and Pass XA200.5 to replace my ARC DS450 and drive my Salon 2s. They demoed the D'Agostino along with the ARC Ref 5SE (which I own) with the Alexias and the combination sounded fantastic. That's what did it!

Now, the Alexias are getting in before the D'Agostino amp. It will be a few weeks. So, I will have equipment and cables (Shunyata Anacondas and Alpha) going through break-in in to January. But that's ok...

Thanks Jean-Marc. Glad you are happy with the Alexias.
By the way, your pictures were very helpful in the color selection process. I went with black and natural (silver/stainless) hardware. This will help tie in the black ARC gear with the silver/stainless finish of the D'Agostino amp and the speakers.
