Wilson Alexia and room size
My listening room is about 18' x 15'.
I have a pair of Sophia 3's. Considering moving up the ladder. Wonder if Alexias are too big for this room and may cause bass overload. I get decent bass from the Sophia and it's overwhelming. I would appreciate it if any Alexia owners (or those who've heard them in smaller rooms) can comment.

You want a large room where you can pull them as far away from any wall as possible.
How tall are your ceilings?

My room is 14 x 17 and Alexia's works great... 8 foot ceilings.

Remember the Alexia's are very tunable more so than the Sasha's due to the separate driver cabinets. You should be fine.

It will be interesting to see how they measure in JA's listening room.

I did get the paper copy yesterday. I get the digital version of the Stereophile - which, by the way, is also reviewing the Alexias in Dec.

I can see Tony Joe White on the cover.
His last album Hoodoo is a killer, I had the chance to see him in Paris the three last years, fabulous always. On my Alexias, it's really fabulous, I recommend it . |
