| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? What I'm looking for is value at every price point. Value is individually determined. What I don't like is that I can't often find the most value within each price point because the market is inefficient for hifi products. Thus I end up guessin... | |
| Speaker placement Quandary Ok just purchased Opus 3 as a download. Can you steer me to the best tract for soundstage depth. I see 17 tracks. Is there more than one disc? Thanks | |
| Speaker placement Quandary This is a great thread. I have been obsessing with my speakers distance from the front wall. They are out about 4"9". I get great soundstage width and tons of imaging but depth is still lacking. I think next I will tweak toe-in to see if that help... | |
| New Speaker, Wilson MAXX 3, Alexandria series 1, Alexia series 1, YG sonja models @deep_333 Would it mot be easier to just say your biased against Wilson Audio?Or a least come up with a rational reason. What drew me to Wilson Audio was hearing the MAX 3, a wonderful speaker. I owned the Alexia 1 for nine years. A truly extraor... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! @linnvolk "Since I am not twenty years younger (I am 61), I would rather spend the time and energy I have left on woodworking projects and travel, rather than amassing lots of gear that will eventually be a burden to my son after I move on. AN... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I recently replaced my 9 year old Wilson Alexia 1's. I replaced them with the Alexx V's so not an apples too apples comparison. As I've said in an earlier post I felt the Alexia's held up well and were 70% of the Alexx V's especially in the mids... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Maybe a better way to ask this might be; If you won the lottery and found out you would die in 6 months what speaker would you buy? | |
| Was the upgrade from Alexia 1 to Alexx V worth it? @ozzy Thanks and so true! I did conclude you can't take it with you and I'd rather spend my own money while I can and let the next generation figure out how to earn their own! | |
| Ken Fritz stereo system auction is live... An inspiring Youtube video. His dedication to this hobby and his willingness to "rollup his sleeves" so as to be part of it was amazing. My best to you and your family. | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! AR2a Acoustic Research AR3a Acoustic Research Polk Audio ? B&W 802 Verity Parsifal Wilson Audio Alexia 1 Magico A-5 Wilson Audio Alexx V Done | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @steakster The Wilson are more Dynamic and imaging is more 3-D (holigraphic) while the Magico has a smoother overall presentation with a more even tonal quality if that makes sense. Very sweet highs and mids. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @steakster +1.......Great story. I had a similar experience. Great speakers are great speakers whether you like their particular flavor or not. I also own the Magico A-5's in a second system. I love them but clearly they have a different voice. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @carlsbad2 And I thought this post would be free of Wilson haters and trolls? My fav from this minority was a comment a hater made about the Chronosonic. XVX's.. The reviewer had said they were one of the five best speakers in the world. The hat... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Congrats on the new speakers. You will love them! I went through a similar ordeal for the last year. I had the Alexia 1 and thought I needed an upgrade. I loved the Alexia's but you know how this hobby is. I auditioned the Alexx V's and still... | |
