Wilson Alexia 2


Any suggestions for electronics for these speakers. Something that would do them justice but moderately priced.  Is McIntosh a good match or is there something better in that price range?  Ie: Spectral, ARC, Krell.  Looking for bang for the buck but not cheat the speaker either.

Wilson is to “ cool”: flat. (Macintosh to) For more harmony, use an European or Japanese amplifier: Ear, Hegel, Air Tight, Wavac , Jadis, Spec, Leben...sound will be more holographic an open. (It’s mine opinion)
I use a Parasound JC5 for my Alexia 1’s. Space realities don’t allow for mono’s. The rest of my system is Audio Research and SME. The JC5 is essentially the JC1’s distilled down to one unit. Sounds great. Excellent bang for the buck!
I recently heard these with three different amps: Naim, D’Agostino and McIntosh. Speakers sounded great on all three.  Dealer actually recommended a pair of the 1.2 kwh McIntosh monoblocks which I preferred as well.  I have the amps now waiting on the speakers.  The D’Agostino sounded great as well.  Both of these amps really opened up the sound at lower volume levels. 
I've heard Wilson with ARC Ref gear many times at shows and it's a fantastic combination.
