I can't imagine how you keep blowing midrange capacitiors, but according to the Wilson website, both the Maxx 2's and the Alexandria V 2 would present the same load to an amplifier. Both are rated at 4 ohms nominal and 3 ohms minimum, though the Alexandria is 4 db more sensitive (95 db vs. 91 db)
Your VTL Seigfried's claim to be able to pump 800wpc in Tetrode or 400 wpc into Triode mode into a 4 ohm load, that's a lot of freaking power.
So what does all this mean? Either you have a VERY, VERY large room, your listen at VERY, VERY loud levels and/or the blown midrange caps have nothing to do with SPL's, but perhaps DC leakage from your amps. Yes, the Alexandria will be easier on your amps, but your amps, if healthy, should provide plenty of juice for the Maxx 2's also.
You may want to have VTL check out the amps, IMHO.
Cheers,
John
