| Journey ending speakers Old guy, moving from Wilson WP7's to Alexia Series 2. McIntosh system, tube power amp. Focal Utopia headphone rig. Grew up in house with one-off speakers built by Rudy Bozak, a friend of my father. Loved the BW speakers I have owned in the past. | |

| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? First - a real tangent: Is the original poster actually a Porsche cup car owner? I raced Porsches in IMSA as a professional driver in the 1990's, then in club racing. My wife and have owned 15 911's, including several cup cars. Sorry for the distr... | |
