Wilson Alexx V

The new Alexx V is to be released at the end of this month 3/29/21.  Any thoughts or predictions on how this one will compare to the current one.  I know no one will know for sure until it’s out.  They say it’s based off the XVX.  I believe this one may rival the XLF in a smaller package. New tweeter, midrange and increase in bass enclosure size and the new Xcaps.  More efficient?  Any thoughts?

I heard the Alexx V at Excel in Newport Beach, it was an impressive demo. Mike spun the IMPEX Patricia Barber 1-step of Cafe Blue, im not a big Barber fan but this particular pressing is exceptional. The Aleex V is def in a similar league to the Wamm Jr system set up on the opposite wall (Chronosonic XVX with double Sub Sonic subs). Even without subs the Alexx V has tight extended bass driven by BAT tube monos (REX 3). Color me impressed.

I had the pleasure of hearing the new Alexx V today. It is a speaker that anyone contemplating a speaker in its price range should definitely put on their short list. The Alexx V clearly needs a large room and plenty of space to breath, BUT if you have this room, I can think of few speakers that can compete with it. Far more resolving and impressive sounding than any prior Wilson I have heard, including the XLF.

Carey1110 -  agree with your comments.  A lot of new development has gone into making it (new V material, capacitors, mid range, tweeter). I haven't heard it yet..  I do like the open sides too. It appears that Michael Fremer has leap frogged over the Alexx and bought the XVX!
