Wilson Audio MAXX series III

Wilson has the New Maxx series III on there website. The New Maxx III's looks like a Mini Alexandria. It uses the same technology as there flagship speaker. Plus the Maxx III's will cost you about 20K more then the Maxx II's

I am tempted but I made an interesting calculation. Used Maxx IIs will go for about 25K. The 40K difference in price is a ton of money. You can almost buy a 2nd hand pair of Alexandria for that much. While Wilson is a great speaker, no speaker does it all. So my thoughts are.... get a 2nd speaker setup. For 40K there are a ton of great speakers out there that would give anice 2nd voicing.

dgad: pretty good math :) I am just wondering how close the maxx 3 comes the the Alexandria soundwise.

maybe alexandria series 1 $$'s / 2 = maxx 3

The inevitable question can not be avoided - what is the best sound : a new MAXX series 3 or an used original Alexandria X2?

I got a chance to hear the new Maxx 3 yesterday, right next to the Maxx 2. Same system. All level matched. The Maxx 3 is pretty amazing, it is not a improved Maxx 2. It's in a different class and much much closer to the Alexandria x-2 than the Maxx 2.

The simplist way to decribe the differences are the Maxx 2 is still a awesome speaker. One of the best for reproducing recorded music. The Maxx 3 leaves you with the impression your at the live event vs listening to a recording. The Maxx 3 infuses the music with life, realism and beauty. Startling improvement.
