Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Oneobgyn, you have obviously spent much time and effort putting together a beautiful system; but if the Wilson X-2s are the penultimate speakers, what are the ultimate speakers?

I will go out on a limb and say the Wilson Maxx ll.

The series 2 upgrade on these speakers is truly amazing as it has much of the X-2 technology at 1/3 of the price. They are a speaker worth owning--so much so that Wilson Audio has discontinued their much more expensive X-1 Grand Slamm Series lll as it is outperformed by the Maxx ll

My Dahlquist DQ-30's are awesome!!!!!!!!! I drive them with an Adcom 5802 and the sound is amazing. I was thinking about selling them .... Dont know yet..

so you're saying that the new maxx is better than the alexandria?

The Maxx ll comes awefully darn close to the X-2 with much of the same technology. What I said was that the new Maxx ll bests the discontinued X-1 Grand Slamm Series lll (which I owned and found it to be a terrific speaker). For 1/3 the price of the X-2 the Maxx ll is an amzing speaker and worth an audition. At 20K less than the Von Schweikert VR9, I feel "IMO" that it is a far better speaker (than the VR9). It is worthy of everyones audition if they are considering either speaker.
