| 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... | |
| Was the upgrade from Alexia 1 to Alexx V worth it? Classe Delta Mono. You can see my components in my system description with photos. | |
| Is usb reclocking necessary? I have an Innuos Zenith mk 3 with the reclocker. It only made a slight difference in my system. I think the key is how good your DAC’s USB implementation is. I run a Terminator Plus which is known to have a great USB input. We all tend to look fo... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time @mahler123 +1 well said and very funny! @tonywinga Great Recommendations! | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners Of course he will say that. Could be true but he also wants to sell equipment. I have a Zenith Mk 3 with reclocker with the sense app and like it a lot . When will I upgrade? When next Statement comes out in a year or two. I'm looking for bigg... | |
| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer Roon has the best user interface in the business but IMO depending on streamer/server used not the best sound quality. I use Innous Sense app with Zenith mk 3 with fabulous results. | |
| Do I really Need a Digital to Digital Converter? NO! | |
| Dan D'Agostino S250 MxV enough power for Wilson Audio Alexia V I had the Alexia in my system. Rarely did it need more than 35-60 watts to drive them to 85-90db sound level. So yes the Dan will be more than adequate. | |
| Classe vs Luxman any thoughts on the Stereo power amps? I own both the CT-M600 and Delta mono blocks. Can't speak to Luxman. Both companies are now owned by a conglomerate. I love my amps! The Delta's are better than the M600. Both amps got rave reviews and their specs are ideal. That said I don't ... | |
| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade I would upgrade your speaker to a floor stander which will have better frequency integration than an sat/sub. brand is your preference. I love Wilson. Just upgraded from Alexia (with two subs) to Alexx V (no sub) and realized big SQ improvements. | |
| Was the upgrade from Alexia 1 to Alexx V worth it? @mgattmch In the January 2022 Issue of HiFi News Ken Kessler also reviewed the Alexx V and said "It’s dangerous to say these words, but here goes... the Alexx V is the best damned speaker I have ever heard." and gave it a 95%. Having lived with th... |
