Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis

Hi all,
With full respect, both the Maxx 3 and Isis are both GREAT speakers. They cater to different personal preferences.
At the end, I went for the Isis for my own taste.
Thanks for all your opinions.

Alectiong: Congrats on the Upgrade!
Are you keeping your Lamm ML2.1's to power the Isis or changing amps? Just curious?

Hi Cytocycle
I am changing amps. The ML2.1's are truly GREAT amps. But not the right match for the Isis. Would be doing injustice to both.

If I may add sth to this interesting discussion - I have owned Avalon Eidolon Vision, now own Wilson Audio speakers, and I do not consider them hi-fi sounding. Quite on the contrary.

IMO both are capable of stunning results, but require careful system matching.

Hi, on a different subject..I have always read that the Eton Nomex/kevlar woofers take a long time to break in. Now that i am breaking in my new Isis, i am experiencing just that. Does anyone know what is so special about this nomex/kevlar woofer that some manufacturers like Avalaon and Kharma continue to use them even though they know it takes forever to break in. And when broken in, still doesn't quite have the bass slam of more conventional material woofers used in e.g. Wilson speakers?
