| Wilson Alexx V I think that is correct. My memory of the Alexx is that it is a superb speaker with excellent coherence. The new model is everything that I remember of the old model, plus a bit more extended at the frequency extremes. Unfortunately, the price has... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @audition__audio More than likely the dealer who is selling the Wilson's is also selling the D'Ag Relentless amps...and as such he can now make two sales. I wouldn't think that the big D'ag would break too much of a sweat on the new Wilsons. | |
| You pay for it and you get it... @nationalbar Intersting post. I am not sure you are talking about dynamic expression vs. scale, but if you can get large scale in this way, I would think it also has to do with your very large room. Essentially what you are describing is creating... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo When I listened to the very nice Alexx V’s, I was quite aware that each speaker cost $65K. Looking at the speaker, and it is nice, there is simply no way that $65K each can be attributed to this product. When one looks at what $65K will buy you, n... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... Keithr, I think you have made a generic statement about Wilson’s that isn’t really the case anymore . If you get a chance to hear the new Alexx V, I think you will retract your post.I would agree that the big Wilson’s from just a few years back we... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... Once again, I think we should stress that we are NOT talking about dynamics here. The sense of scale is the only aspect. I have never heard large scale with any smaller stand mount or smaller floor standing speaker with or without subs, regardless... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... @james633 I high pass my dual REL subs. They are limited by the size of my listening room. Nonetheless, I do not believe that even in a much larger room, that they can bring scale like the big speakers. They can bring dynamic impact, but like Do... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... The room clearly has something to do with the ability of the speaker to portray scale, BUT I think even in the big room, a small speaker, like the Sabrina X that I referenced, cannot portray this. @millercarbon I hear what you say about the ten fo... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... @james633 Actually I don't believe that subs will get you there. I run dual subs and there is no way i can get this sense of scale. Not even close. My room is a fraction of the size of the demo hall ( that's almost as large as this room was) tha... | |
| Wilson Alexx V @carey1110 The tonal balance and sound stage was considerably larger and more precise than what i remember hearing from the XLF. I also was impressed with the overall scale produced, but this had to do with the enormous room which I heard the demo... | |
| Wilson Alexx V 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... | |
| Mágico M6 vs Big Wilson speakers I had the pleasure of listening to a new pair of Wilson Alexx V’s today. They are definitely a speaker that one should put on their short list if the budget allows. Excellent at staging, bottom end reach and very resolving across the whole frequen... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @edgewound They are not over priced so long as there is a market for them at that price, which apparently Wilson believes there is! The value proposition is another matter entirely....I think most folks these days would look at numerous products i... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I read the review by MF of these in the current Stereophile mag. His comment about a few images appearing too tall is interesting. This problem is common in a number of larger/taller speakers that are on the market, along with their propensity to ... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @mammothguy54 I had heard the story about the Taylor Made clubs before. OTOH, it is interesting that there could be a company doing ’knock-off’s’ of cartridges like the Koetsu’s and the Benz’s. Albeit copying a cartridge could be a relatively easy... |
