My favorite ss with Wilson is D'Agostino which were designed utilizing Wilson speakers. Dave Wilson preferred them as well and utilized the Momentums in his home system. If size is not an issue, consider the Progression mono amps @ $38,000 list per pair.
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!

@georgehifi The Parasounds were recommended as affordable equipment when I went to listen to the current Wilson offering at a dealer. I find them a little bland looking but will keep them in mind. What about Gryphon signature monos? They seem more affordable. I heard Dagostino momentums drive a Maxx 3. Momentums are too expensive but what are your thoughts on the Progressions? What else? Jeff Rowland, Luxman? There's gotta be something out there that will check all the boxes even if it's a step down from Gryphon... Everyone on this board seems to be anti McIntosh. |
I also think MBL 101 would work great. They will surely also get a lot of comments for their looks, people will notice them. See if you can find a used pair. Other than that I think the Kii Three with bass towers could fill a room. The include amps, you only have to add a streamer. Third option would be horns, they can fill a room with sound. Used to be used in theaters. Used Acapella should work but might be expensive. |
The Parasounds were recommended I find them a little bland looking but will keep them in mind.Don’t worry about the look, and I think they look fine, the JC1 Halo’s will do the job nicely, and they have two modes of bias, normal bias for party time and high bias for serious listening. This guys re-listed make him an offer https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9iijf-parasound-jc1-solid-state What about Gryphon signature monos? They seem more affordable. They’ll be good also if you can afford them, also the Progressions Everyone on this board seems to be anti McIntosh.Their nice to stare at, as for the sound🤷♂️ except for the MC240's Cheers George |
