WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?

there were a pair of Maxx 2 in California for sale asking price 13 grand. I thought about them, then realized I live in a 1200 square ft hi rise in Las Vegas and cannot accommodate speakers of that size. I'm looking for sophia or watt puppy sized speakers that pack a punch. I do not like laid back sound. I want a lively bright loudspeaker.  

1200 sq ft apartment? Exactly how big is the room you plan to put these speakers in?

I used a 1000sq ft. Apartment in NOLA a few years ago and they sound amazing. Believe it or not, your footprint is almost the same. The Maxx speakers can angle perfectly to the seating position you want VS the others don’t do as well. Why hear some of the visit when you can hear it all. You will always chase around speakers until you realize what you are missing. Also by no means the Wilson Maxx are layback sound by the way. There bass will knock you off of your feet. I’m happy to give you a demonstration if you like. I’m in the LA Area 

My listening room is 14.5 by 17 leading into a kitchen and dining area which would make it 14.5 by 27. 9 ft ceilings. its a good size room. I prefer MAXX 2's. MAXX 1 is too old. 

Weather Maxx 2 or not, all I’m saying is that you should give a listen that’s all. After you hear them, you will be spoiled. There are a few 1 and 2 out there. The 3 is a completely different animal. It sounds slightly better and I do mean slightly better. I have the 3’s as well. That is a completely different price range. You will find them for $30,000 to $35,000. Both of mine are not for sale. My 1’s are converted to Maxx 2. It was the last year before switching to Maxx 2. The change was the the tweeters and the resistors from 1 to 2. Easy to do. My Maxx 3’s are still 3’s. Best of luck on your choices.
