Interesting read. I have listened to the MAXX IIs and Sophia IIs and with the correct associated gear, they are excellent speakers. Over priced, that is not for me to decide. I can also agree that without the correct assocaited equipment, they can sound very poor. Most of the dealers that I have heard them at had unfortunately had very poor sound. It wasn't until hearing them at a friends home and switching some components in and out did we hear their potential.

Happy Listening.
I have listened to them and the Alexandria, and found neither to my liking.

This may be less a reflection of Wilsons, than a statement on the way most loudspeaker much larger than the norm prove unable to put forth a convincing portrayal of the music to me.

For what it's worth, I consider the Sashas truly exceptional loudspeakers.
