Wilson’s Alexx V vs Alexandria XLF


I have a very large room with high ceilings etc,  would it be reasonable to move from and Alexx V to an XLF to fill that space or would that be a down grade?

Yes I get that,  I believe the room or space has so much volume with the ceiling height and the large open floor plan that the Alexx V just can’t fill it. This is why I thought the XLF which has much better low end extension may perform better.  Kinda like adding a sub which is adding  equipment to compensate for the speaker unless you think having a sub in a different location would help. 

@kofibaffour The space is not dedicated and is an open floor plan so behind the listening seat is a large kitchen and beyond that a dinning room and another living space. Ceiling is sloped from 16’ to 20’. Where the speakers are the room is 18’ wide    Speakers are about 40” from the front wall and 36” from the side wall,  9’ apart. Seat is 9-10 feet as well. I’ve moved them closer to the front wall but the fullness. Krell amp also ARC pair of 160 monos. 

@yoyoyaya  Thankyou for you insight and comparison between these,  very helpful.  So if you think the Alexx V is more resolving,  What did you mean when  You said front end gear and room treatment was more important with the XLF?
