Choice between Wilson Audio Alexx or the Alexia V


Looking to possibly upgrade my speakers once again and I have a choice between an older Wilson Audio Alexx speaker (approximately 3 years old) in fantastic shape or the new Alexia V model. Both would be priced about the same. I am interested in receiving feedback from anyone who has had the listening experience comparing both speakers. My listening room can fit either speaker.

I would certainly appreciate a better understanding of the sound signatures between these two models.

Thank you

I believe the Alexx will have a warmer signature and the Alexia V more clarity. Also the Alexia V would be easier to move should you need to move up. The Alexx is dropping in value all the time. I’m sure both would produce great sound. Please let me know what you decide. 

I currently own the Alexia 1 and have new Alexx V's arriving in a week or so.  I'm also very curious about the SQ delta. I love the Alexia which I have paired with two Perlisten D-212 subs.  Both of these speakers require similar amp current as they both drop to around 2 ohms.  I'll have lots to say once the new speakers arrive.  My guess is the Alexx 1 will have better scale and bass. The big difference will be the Alexia V's Alnico QuadraMag which is supposed to be the trump card. Its also used in the Alexx V.  I auditioned the Alexx V at a dealer. What I noticed the most was better low end and the mids were better but it was not my listening room and electronics. Remember the Alexx model has 2 mid range drivers.

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.
