Wilson’s Alexx V vs Alexandria XLF

I would think either speaker would fill that room. Do you feel like something is missing?

@bubba12 fullness and Bass at lower volumes. 

@carey1110  my suspicion is that it’s probably a room issue more than equipment. I have been down a similar road but it was never the equipment letting me down. Subwoofers maybe?

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. 

Hi carey1110~

I thought I might chime in here...

I agree with most of the comments posted, especially with your own 'gut' responses that the XLF's will likely get you exactly what you're looking for.

Their physical presence and the ability to 'pressurize' that large, open space will be remarkable, although I believe every speaker system in your size room will benefit from a world class Subwoofer. If there were any way you could experience both models in the space at the same time (unlikely, of course) I don't believe there would be any doubt between the two. The larger XLF's~

I'm not one to get caught up in the latest technology when it comes to speakers and frankly, as capable as Daryl is, David was the catalyst and anything developed in his presence was as good as it could be at the price point. Don't worry about when they were built.

For my money, hands down, I think the space deserves a speaker the size and capability of the XLF.

For that matter, why not a Mint pair of the Alexandria's? (Shameless plug)

Best of luck in your search and when it's all said and sung... you will love whatever you end up with...

Best regards,

Jim
