Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis

Honestly if you want music get the Isis if you want Demo or shock Hi-Fi get the MAXXIII. It really is as simple as that.

Try Boulder amp's and you will be in heaven. Avalon speakers don't work all that well with tube amps because the Ceramic midrange need a very high dampening factor to control it. I know the Lamm 2.1 is not a tube amp but it doesn't have the power to control the Isis. I find the Boulder to be a match made in heaven with Avalon.

IT's not the woofer that is not giving you the output but the crossover controlling it. You would not have the midrange you have if they let that woofer fly free.

Only Avalon can answer that question. They had to pick a woofer and it was the Eaton. I'm sure it has to do with speed because of the ceramic midrange is a very light weight and fast cone. Eaton also makes some of the best drivers.

BTW all woofers take longer to break in because of the web is much bigger so it takes some time to loosen up. Don't about break in and just sit back and enjoy them.
