Big congratulations. That is going to be an epic update. It must be a hugely satisfying
moment to get this rolling. It's going to be some exciting weeks. Do you get to see how your speakers will be built?

Yeah, I was going to gently mention that "penultimate" means "next to last", not "last" or "ultimate." BTW, the first time I heard the use of the term "penultimate" was in Organic Chemistry: for example, the next to last carbon atom in, for example, an aliphatic chain, is referred to as the "penultimate" carbon. So, whenever I hear the term "penultimate", I am taken back to my days in "O-Chem!"

Big WOW and congrats Charles!
I agree with you. You never have to consider another speaker. Therefore, you just killed your HiFi-hobby. Though, the music will flow endlessly. ------------------------------------------------- Just a story along the way... I hope there will be a deal. What can go wrong? Nothing for sure. But I know what you mean. Since May this year I'v traveled through a painful deal. Everything was ok in the end. I just bought a quite special thing thats one of my dreams, but the deal was prolonged for some reasons that and that was out of my hand. I found it a bit strange. Money and emotions were invested. And I saw a small risk of all sorts of bad things. Until it's signed, payed and delivered, there are these painful doubts. Thats the thrill and a part of interesting deals. It turned out that everything was ok and the dealer was great. Best deals are made with professionals at both sides. That's not always the case.

Charles
is there a reason behind your choice of Black? I have seen a number of XLF's, Alexandria's, Alexx's and Maxx's yet only a couple times in Black. Does that work best in your room? Who is your dealer by the way? |

Here are the true measurements. This is also found on the Wilson Forum.
I appreciate the comment on the weight greatly. Well, the xvx order just got closer to a reality. Once the check is passed there's no going back. Here are the figures made by the owner and his top assistant: 6" minimum speaker clearance from ceiling. Over rear tweeter 8" minimum clearance and probably 10-12" maximum clearance. Between the main tweeters 96" or 8' of stereo separation as opposed to 9' with the Alexx. The xvx will set on a mat. My listening distance is approximately 138" or 11.5'. Ear height 37.5". The only variable left is the true height of the xvx which is variable. Wilson will be supplied with all this data and pics have been taken of the room. They must supply an accurate height of an unspiked xvx built to my ears and listening distance. The above measurements are based on an xvx height of 74". Specified height by Wilson is 73,5/8". My financial adviser will inform me this afternoon if I can afford this without placing my family in financial jeopardy. The owner has truly extensive experience and absolutely believes the xvx will fit and operate properly in my room. Overall, this purchase makes a lot of sense to me. Is there anybody and I mean anybody that remotely thinks I'll ever consider another speaker coming after my xvx? If there is, then you will consider me to be insane which I am not. So this will truly be closure for me, albeit a very expensive one, of a long high end career. After this installation, I am going to sit back and enjoy my music. p.s. the owner will come out and supervise the entire installation and of course the whole dealership will come along with him. I've got an errand to run, then I'm going to walk about 5 miles to blow off steam, get good an tired in the legs. I'm listening to Beethoven's 5th through my Alexx which is my victory symphony as I pen this note. Last edited by Charles; 11-01-2019 at 01:09 PM. |

As to dealer's name, I prefer to keep it confidential. I don't know why exactly. Hope you understand. |
