Choice between Wilson Audio Alexx or the Alexia V

Hello Gregm,

Thank you so much for your response.

I do understand your comment about the Alexia V having a bit of warm coloration in the bottom end.

My current amplification is a Mcintosh MC302 300 watt per channel amp with a Mcintosh C50 Preamp. I do hope that although they are not considered high end power equipment like the Solution amps that they will still allow the Alexx speakers to perform well. I do also utilize dual Rel SX212 subs in my current system.

My digital source is a DCS Rossini Apex Player.

Hello Carey1110,

Thank you for providing me with your experience and input. My room size is 23'W x 33'D with a 9' ceiling. Currently my speakers are 8' apart and approximately 10' from my listening sofa. I can adjust both of the distances if necessary. One issue that came up is that my speakers sit in front of a glass wall and as a result it may be advantageous to be able to have the flexibility of the base port adjustment front or back. I understand the sound stage would be appreciably larger with the Alexx's although I am still confused as to the overall sound signature between the two speakers. Which speaker provides an overall more musical experience?

Again, Thank you.

Hello skinny,

Thank you for your input. I believe the larger sound stage of the Alexx is something that is very appealing to the listener. While the Alexia V has newer technology it appears that the two midrange drivers in the Alexx as well as the additional adjustability with the  midrange speakers and ability to port the woofers either to the front or back to tune to the room is a lot to consider with making this decision.

Thanks so much.
