WILSON ALEXANDRIA XLF SPEAKERS-

TIME waits for no one; i wonder when they are going to give demos on these speakers? i've only heard the X2.1's and they were quite overwhelming- i couldn't stop thinking about them for several days afterwards. the 2.2's are supposed to sound like the best concert hall in the world. so the 2.3's will have
to sound even better than that... although, after hearing the WAMM's many years ago i was
still the MOST impressed with their ability to dissect EVERY instrument out of the mix, plus they had two separate (18") woofer cabinets. if wilson hasn't tried to crossover the alexandrias to their present subs i wonder why not? other than space being an issue (in a room designed for $160,000 speakers?) that might work really well also....

i saw their new brochure...silk dome...quite a new thing for wilson...the silk domes i've heard I've always just loved...a touch of warmth...I got a brochure emailed to me from Wilson...new drivers, new cabinet in places...it seems like a pretty big upgrade...

If anyone wants the brochure, I'll email it, I didn't see it posted on their website just yet...

Wilson has done the silk dome thing before with the Duette I think. I also agree the move towards using a silk dome is a good idea for a host of reasons.

That would have been a good idea 20 years ago… Why the change suddenly? I thought Wilson fans cherish these magnificent highs :)

Maybe no soft dome tweeter available at the time was good enough ? Just a thought.
