Wilson Maxx 2

Anyone heard these and compared them to the originals? Curious what the specific sonic differences are compared to the originals, which I found somewhat interesting in many ways but ultimately flawed in comparison with most modern speakers of anywhere near their price range. Are they sensitive enough to be run with low powered SET's or do they crave higher power?

They were a big step up from my WP7's in that they produced a wall of sound.. versus just the pinpoint soundstage the WP7's provide. I still enjoy and believe no other speaker short of large Stators or Magnepans can provide the imaging or quickness with Dynamic that the WP7's provide...

I like the original Maxx's but the new ones make me want to upgrade (but that will be 2 years+ to save that kind of money for me.. )

I listend to the original Maxx 2's with Rowland 302 amp (not a small powered set..) I listened with the original Maxx with Halcro, both systems were in treated rooms and running Transparent XL or higher...

The Rowland 302 were impressive on the Maxx 2's, I heard Halcro's on the original Maxx's.

I own Lamm M1.1s (not many of those owners either) that I use with my WP7... It's a magical Combination... I have a Rowland Synergy IIi Preamp that is now running on DC (no more power cords)
