It's $600k according to Peter McGrath. In a Wilson Alexx Seminar last Sat at Fidelis in Nashua, NH, he mentioned there are already 27 WAMM pre-orders.

What's interesting is, WAMM and Alexx share the same drivers except WAMM has 2 additional midrange drivers. Alexx retails $110K vs $600K ... Hmm!

Never been a Wilson fan but Alexx sounds exceptional with all MSB.  Also very impressed with Sabrina last summer driven by Agostino Momentum. Vac 200IQ a bit too small ...  Wilson is on the right path.

I was also lucky enough to hear the Wilson/MSB demo at Fidelis AV. 

From a visual stand point the Alexx are definitely an acquired taste, but the sound was truly amazing. The soundstage encompassed the entire room and the sense of scale was really impressive.
I would love to demo Alexx with Momentum.   I find Sabrina with Momentum / VAC SigMKIIa SE was more resolving and preferable but doesn't have the scale, slam ... size matters.  The MSB mono is class A and warm side of neutral.

Sabrina will be on my short list if shopping for speakers in a small room.
@jayrossi13 ,

I think 2 VAC Phi 200s will work fine.    I remembered Kevin Hayes used 2 VAC Phi 200s with KingSound King's at shows.

Kind of interesting but one VAC 200iq driving Sabrina was more resolving then MSB with Alexx.    I think 2 VAC 200iq with KT150s will be a very interesting experiment.  :-)
I demoed Sabrina in the same large room as Alexx last summer.   I forgot the DAC and compared Momentum and 200iq with VAC SigMKIIa SE pre.
I'm familiar with Rockport Altair II and don't think MSB mono amps is a good match.   Altair II sounded best with VTL Sigfried II monos.

MSB with Alexx wasn't awful but lacked detail, resolution and little dark.  I think this is the 1st time Wilson sounded dark.   :-)   In general not a fan with most SS Class A amps.
