Patience is a virtue they say Marc. Hang in there -- while you wait, you may want to google WA Alexia uncrating -- their is a web page that has the nice manual or portions of it -- describing everything from uncrating to peeling the frisk, to array, set up, and much more -- ear height calculations etc.
Best Bob P.S. I'm not going to rain here -- but mine, which arrived Tuesday -- are still in crates. Unboxing today in about 12 hours.

As of yesterday, there are only 3 production pairs that have been delivered to dealers and distributors world-wide. That also started to change yesterday as the first production pairs beyond the Debut pairs left the factory. |

I think Wilson Audio is falling into the easy field of marketing.
Too many changes in a short time. In the meantime my TAD's CR1 are still a reference. Solid concept=large life. Just my two cents.... |

Nacho I think you are a little bit unfair to Wilson. Alexia 1 was released in 2012. A product life of 5 years is maybe not long but it's not short either. Please correct me if I am wrong but I think TAD CR1 was introduced in 2010. In 2013 CR1 mk2 was launched. Wilson speakers normally have product life of 4-5 years. I think that's fair in today's economy for companies to survive, invest and progress. Not everyone's dad is rich like TAD's and Raidho's. By the way I am not saying anything bad about TADs, both CR1 and CR1 mk2 are great reference speakers you can keep for life. Just like Alexia 1. Love and respect. Cagdas Kurtoglu |

Hi parkcaka.
Sorry but i'm not trying to be unfair. I respect Wilson as other brands, but i don't share the permanent upgrades of many brands. TAD was forced to introduce de MKII nomenclature only because it was imposible to purchase the original woofer material. The MKII is 99.9% as the original. It was an eventual change contrary to TAD whises. So the MKII is the most aproximated speaker to the MKI. Not in reverse. Regards. Last edited by Nacho; 06-26-2017 at 08:29 AM. |
