You want the TRUTH from those Wilson Alexia's, maybe you can't handle the TRUTH


56 bi-polar outputs, current till the cows come home, massive supply, multiple small power supply caps for fast release, 2000w into 2ohms that’s 2hp!!!!!

A bit anal/argumentative there sunshine, the "You can’t handle the Truth" (A Few Good Men reference) "is tongue in cheek". The technical here know what I’m on about, as the Wilson Alexia’s are such a savage hard load there are only a few amps that will drive them flat from 20hz to 20khz with the current that’s needed, and not act as the dreaded tone control. And this amp maybe one of them that can do that.

Yes they are a rich, the Parasound JC1 Mono-blocks can control the Alexia's at 6k a pair, I've heard them on them, and they were very good and could sound even better especially in their higher class A mode. But the Gryphon Antillion Evo was even better but that was 60k!!!

meerzistar  I can address your Bryston comment. I have a pair of 28BSST2 driving Wilson Watt Puppy 7's

It is a wonderful combination, and I could not be happier(famous last words)

 Bryston modestly rates them at 900w, into 8ohm, both of my test sheets for the 28's have clipping values at 1247w, and 1249w respectively.

yet there will be buyers tempted by something new and will 'bite' the bait even despite Bryston shows better monetary figures.
than the price will drop to the point where it will make sense to purchase.
