WILSON ALEXANDRIA XLF SPEAKERS-


TIME waits for no one; i wonder when they are going to give demos on these speakers? i've only heard the X2.1's and they were quite overwhelming- i couldn't stop thinking about them for several days afterwards. the 2.2's are supposed to sound like the best concert hall in the world. so the 2.3's will have
to sound even better than that... although, after hearing the WAMM's many years ago i was
still the MOST impressed with their ability to dissect EVERY instrument out of the mix, plus they had two separate (18") woofer cabinets. if wilson hasn't tried to crossover the alexandrias to their present subs i wonder why not? other than space being an issue (in a room designed for $160,000 speakers?) that might work really well also....

Hi FF,

Have heard the X1, X2 and X2.2 All incredible and my favorite speakers that i have heard myself. (have not heard many incl Arrakis, Evolution Acoustics MM3, etc).

I too am waiting for comments on this speaker...it is not suppose to replace the X2.2 but sit above it...and both will continue to be sold. Which means it must be dramatically better to justify both being sold.

The cabinet looks to be about 6-8 inches deeper nearly from top to bottom. If you consider that there are 2 speakers...would the extra volume come close to one Wilson Thor? Possibly?

Given that it is called XLF, will sit above the X2.2, and they sell the Thor...one would have thought/hoped the speakers would compete with the X2.2 plus Thor. That would be incredible!

Many X1/X2 owners i know (in fact 6 of the 7 owners i know) also run a sub (JL Gothams, Thor, and Velodyne).

Please post if you hear anything about how they sound! i will do same.
theaudiobeat.com put out a email yesterday saying they'd be publishing a preview soon....
i saw their new brochure...silk dome...quite a new thing for wilson...the silk domes i've heard I've always just loved...a touch of warmth...I got a brochure emailed to me from Wilson...new drivers, new cabinet in places...it seems like a pretty big upgrade...

If anyone wants the brochure, I'll email it, I didn't see it posted on their website just yet...
