| 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... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @thyname Yes and no go. The bass on the Allexx V is so low, articulate, and fast that I felt the D212 muddled things up. They are now in my HT system. Replaced my pair of M&K 350's that were 20 years old. | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @thyname Obvious first step. Just wondering how a sub that goes down to 15Hz at best will interact with the floor stander that goes to 20 Hz. My room acoustics are good with little to no standing wave problems. As to appropriate crossover frequen... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. Just installed the Alexx V's and temporarily took out the subs. The bass is wonderfully detailed and provides plenty of low end energy in my room. Wondering if I even need the subs? May move them into the HT to replace my M&K 350 subs that a... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @velcro22 I have been very pleased with the D212 subs paired with my Wilson Alexia. Have them set a 45 HZ Low Pass Filter. My Alexx V's arrive tomorrow. After break-in I will let you know how the subs sound. Suspect I will be lowing the Low Pa... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium Have you tried Bose? | |
| Choice between Wilson Audio Alexx or the Alexia V I currently own the Alexia 1 and have new Alexx V's arriving in a week or so. I'm also very curious about the SQ delta. I love the Alexia which I have paired with two Perlisten D-212 subs. Both of these speakers require similar amp current as th... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k I don't think there is only one right speaker for each pair of ears. I tend to like a lot of speakers and depending on my mood at the time, could select several winners. Unfortunately we can't hear the candidates in our listening room and with ou... | |
| Magico vs the world I own the A-5 and like them a lot. The only fault I can find is that they don't cast a 3D image as well as most Wilson's do. I attribute that to the lack of time alignment. | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @hiendmmoe Well said! Many folks on this forum seem to think that those with more resources are somehow not true "audiophiles". Wilson Audio seems to trigger them? | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @kokakolia You convinced me. I'll start shopping at Walmart for the best of everything. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? I like a wide range of speaker brands. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. None are really bad and I'd be happy to live with any of the top brands at their various price points. I've just ordered a new pair of Wilsons as I love their a... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? What I find interesting is how dealers and equipment manufactures tend to complain how difficult of a business high end audio is. Tough to stay a float. Yet at the same time there are hundreds of manufacturers entering the market and constantly in... | |
| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? I guess it all depends on the definition of "good sound" or "refined" speakers? I suspect everyone has a different definition at different price points. I can say that speaker performance has improved at every price. I personally have several sp... | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @mrdecibel I think we all listen to music differently at different times. The goal for most of us is maximizing our musical satisfaction. An artist can paint a picture with one intention and the random viewer may perceive it differently yet ga... |
