I can only imagine how awesome they sound from your listening chair
Congratulations and enjoy each day you spend with them in the sweet spot!

Congratulations Jim....

Sounds like quite the achievement.... glad to know you're very happy with the changes you've made over the past year of so..

Personally, I have mixed emotions.. and they deal with esthatics and not sound.. (I've never had the pleasure of hearing them).

On one hand I like how they look and I think the fact they are not black is a good thing. On the other hand their sheer size seems to overpower the room...like too much of a good thing?.. Of course, I'm only seeing it from the pictures..

I'd love to sit down with you and enjoy for awhile.. that would be quite the treat!..

I agree with others here - WOW, WOW, and WOW!! This is so exciting!!

Sounds like your house will be filled with music (and people to come hear them! Haha!)

Mind if I share your beautiful Alexandria's with other Wilson fans on Facebook?

I can't wait to hear more of your listening impressions.

Enjoy, and happy listening!!

WOWSERS. The fact that it only took 3.5 of you (haha) is impressive. Maneuvering around corners and down stairs must have been challenging, to say the least. I bet the work is paying its dividends now, though.

Why don't you wait 'till I get a couple of photos that do not seem to distort the lines of the lovely speakers. I may have to try a different lens. Then I have no issue.

We didn't bring them in thru the main floor or down the steps. They only had to negotiate a grassy slope that runs from my driveway down to my back yard. Once they were past that it was a strait shot across the lower level to my 2-channel room.

Oh, very nice. I actually think I recall reading that in one of your earlier posts. I love your acoustic art, Jim. May I ask where one might be able to purchase these?

I purchased them from GIKacoustics you will find them at .com. You can choose stock photos from a huge catalog or provide your own art that they will use.

Here are a couple of shots with the panels on. It is hard to get a head on shot. My lenses at the wide end seem to have barrel distortion so I choose an off angle perspective.
