Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space
I love the design of Wilson Audio speakers and am looking to purchase a system for a 37' x 45' mostly open space living room.
I host a lot of gatherings, from dinners to parties, so I am looking for a system that will fill the room and sound good at all volumes whether you are sitting or standing throughout the space. Doesn't have to be perfect. I'm assuming that anything will be an upgrade from my crappy ceiling built ins. I'm in my 30s and will be streaming mostly deep house, hip hop and rock from the likes of Spotify.
I've been considering the newer Alexia 2s, the Sasha DAWs (and 2s) but also the MAXX 3 and even Grand SLAMM 2s since they seem to be heavily discounted used. I'm open to suggestions. Given the size of the room, the footprint of the speakers is not really a concern.
Would appreciate any input you may have.
Happy holidays. Cheers!

yvl OPI heard the Alexia’s many times in different rooms, but for you, go the MAXX 3 or better the Grand SLAMM 2. But whatever you do, don’t whip out on the amplification, go serious "amperage power" and get Gryphon Antillion Evo monoblocks with switchable Class-A to suit your listening moods and ambient room temperature. This will get the best from those speakers in that room area. https://gryphon-audio.dk/shop/power-amplifiers/antileon-evo-mono/ 175W, Class A 8ohms 1400W / 1ohm 7500W / 1/4ohm Cheers George |
For some reason I can’t do PM’s today, this was the only way to answer you. Later with Wilson were not always necessarily better, as the W/P 7’s were the best of all the W/P’s As for you needs, that massive area of yours would like to have the bigger of the two, and that’s the Grand Slam, the Max will be fine also, but you may always "think should I have gone for the Grand Slam’s" But like I said don’t wimp out on the amplification, at minimum a Gryphon Antilleon Evo stereo, better if you can afford it the mono blocks.
