Wilson Audio MAXX series III

I talked to my dealer today, this seems like a wonderful new speaker !! Wilson apparently announced it today at a trade show...

While Wilson's prices go up with each revision, so does the performance. Also, this doesn't lessen the existing models at all. And creates a fantastic resale market and great opportunities for some.

Seems like big change on the way for the MAXX III. Much more than the change from I to II, which was a nice improvement. I suspect the MAXX III is closer to the Alexandria than the MAXX II (I can't base that on any factual listening, just a assumption on my part)

dgad: pretty good math :) I am just wondering how close the maxx 3 comes the the Alexandria soundwise.

maybe alexandria series 1 $$'s / 2 = maxx 3

I got a chance to hear the new Maxx 3 yesterday, right next to the Maxx 2. Same system. All level matched. The Maxx 3 is pretty amazing, it is not a improved Maxx 2. It's in a different class and much much closer to the Alexandria x-2 than the Maxx 2.

The simplist way to decribe the differences are the Maxx 2 is still a awesome speaker. One of the best for reproducing recorded music. The Maxx 3 leaves you with the impression your at the live event vs listening to a recording. The Maxx 3 infuses the music with life, realism and beauty. Startling improvement.

samuel: stay on that paper route, the 5 am mornings will be paying off!

magicchef: good question. one speaker was set up perfectly on each of the maxx 2 and 3. So for the Maxx 2 the right was spot on and the left slightly off. The Maxx 3 the left perfect right slightly off. Each speaker was equally compromised. So the comparison for test purposes works out and not advantage to either the 2's or the 3's.

The maxx 2's are very good. still one of the very best out there!

dgad: more resolution in the midband and top end especially. tonally very similar, just more information coming out. more coherent...more clues to spatial and openness...

This might be best...

Hi my maxx 3's arrived yesterday, set em up last night and dialed them in today. My dealer just left a hour or so ago. WOW, WOW and WOWSA compared to my Maxx 2's

The Maxx 3's are so new, might be hard to get this combo you're asking about.

I plan to try my Maxx 3's with a single BAT VK75SE vs my current 150SE's over the Christmas/New years break. If it works out, I'll sell one amp and use the other to fund some new purchase or payoff bills (more likely(

The Maxx 3's are effortless with the BAT 150SE's...

Technically I can't really answer.

But from experience, the Maxx 3 plays louder at the same volume setting on my preamp than the Maxx 2's.

My dealer commented that the better time alignment allows more of the music to arrive at the precise moment, giving the impression of "loudness". Of course that also allows a lot of detail, decay, good things to also happen. I do listen at lower volume settings now...
