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 French Fries,

thanks for that...good to know. I have heard Alexandrias and so have a good idea of how they sound, but have not done direct A/B in same room, exact same system. I did not hear as much of a difference but then again, i have a natural/warm system: Zanden, CJ, Gryphon (SS Class A) and Transparent Audio.

In any event, the good news is i have checked with Wilson and the Series V upgrade is expected to be around "for some time"...so that is my clear upgrade path someday! Thanks again for your insights. Very helpful.

I will be hearing the XLFs next week at their premier in Europe. Run with D'Agostino Momentums. Will be interesting to hear.
