Default Anyone using Wilson Alidas as the main L/R speakers?

As I put together my new study system I have decided to go with a pair of Wilson Alidas in Karussel Orange(an Aston Martin color). The system will be the dCS Rossini DAC as source with Ayre KX5/VX5 twenty as preamp/ amp.

Bit of background. I recently upgraded my Cabin Duette's from V1 to V2 and upgraded my Surround 2s to the Alidas in my theater room to match the CST tweeter in my Alexia and mezzo. I was really surprised at how much of a improvement both the new Duette's and the Alidas made. The Alidas don't quite have the lower end extension of the Duette's but in my study I don't have the ability for anything other than wall mount speakers. There is something that wilson has done that has improved these two speakers on the top end and it also greatly improves the upper mids. I believe the Alidas are good enough to be the front end of a simple but high quality system. To date...I have just been using a Stax headphone system for playback

Anyone else using the Alida either for surround...or mor importantly for main 2 channel playback?
