Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room A new review of the Alexia was just published in Positive Feedback issue 76.My favorite comment was this "the ultimate goal at WA is to not build a speaker that obediently follows a frequency response profile; we want it to sound like real music.... | |
Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room One last observation has to do with listener fatigue. When I first received my Alexias I found I had fatigue after long listening sessions. Then I pulled out my sound level meter and discovered the problem....way to many Dbs. These speakers play... | |
Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room One of my favorite recordings is Rebecca Pidgeons Spanish Harlem from The Raven. Have heard it on many systems/speakers but I have never thought it sounded more beautiful than it does on my Alexias. Sweet and warm, and pure with no harshness o... | |
Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room I always marvel when a person asks a specific question about a specific speaker folks chime in to offer opinions about other speakers! Its an interesting phenomena. Is this an example of cognitive dissonance? In any event one of the Alexias stren... | |
Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room I own a pair of Wilson Alexias and absolutely love them. They will work extremely well in that size room. | |
Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners I finally bit the bullet and dove into the computer digital world with a new Mac Mini music server. For those who are considering this I can highly recommend it as a new front end system. My experience is this; I bought the new mac mini (Yosemite ... | |
OSX Yosemite Upgrade and DAC Malfunction Had the same problem with my K-01 on HS-2. Works fine on HS-1. I presume a new driver update will come shortly? | |
Which amps with B&W 800D's... Pass Labs or Classe? I recently purchased a pair of Classe CT-M600s. I love these amps. They run cool and sound great with my Wilson Alexias. These are simply a higher power version of the CA-M400s. Best amplification value in high end audio. | |
Verity Owners...will Rienzi's do justice to bass ? Sounds like you had the answer to your question before it was asked. Good Luck I hope it works out. | |
Verity Owners...will Rienzi's do justice to bass ? I had a pair of Parsifal Ovations for 6 years and while I did love the sound they did not do well a a large listening room (I had them in smaller room then tested in a larger room 16ÂX26Â)....the woofer is only 8Â and just cannot move enough ai... | |
Is it the speakers? Great thread. I almost never by music anymore when the sound quality is not rated as very high. I then take the bad recordings of music that I love and put them on my iPod where they sound great again. | |
Speakers that turn your analytical mind off? Bose. | |
DCS Puccini cd/sacd player vs Esoteric K-01 I just bought the K-01 and love it. If you wait a few months they will offer an upgraded model with 35 bit DACs and new clock. Truly an amazing technology. Will also use as computer DAC. | |
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have an Esoteric K-01. Love it! The reason I bought it was it can be a great DAC for computer playback AND a great disc spinner. I have a lot of SACD's that cannot be ripped so the player is essential. | |
Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 I once had a similar problem and it was cart alignment issue as several others have suggested. |
