| You pay for it and you get it... Ok, now what you state makes some sense. | |
| You pay for it and you get it... @dietch2 I’m fairly certain that scale has nothing to do with the recording. (Unfortunately!) I know this as we heard exactly the same recording in the different systems that I discussed above, The Alexx V’s portrayed scale, the Sabrina X’s...did ... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... @mijostyn Actually the size of the image is NOT what I am referring to as 'scale'. This is where it becomes difficult to describe what 'scale' is. The size of the image has nothing to do with 'scale'...and yet the imaging of the instruments on th... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... @speakermaster. I think you also have to add room size. No room less than probably 15x20 will give you scale, at least IME. | |
| 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... |
