Wilson Maxx 3

good information.
wonder if new Sasha Series 2 would come close
to the 5 year old Maxx 3. likely not in the bass

this is only a guess...since I haven't heard the sasha 2's...I suspect you are on the right path..the Sasha 2's might have more clarity in the mids and top end...i suspect the Maxx 3, has better, deeper more articulate bottom end...better dynamics and helps over come the room with the size and placement of the drivers...the Maxx 3 presents height, width, depth in a way few speakers can...also adjusts it's presentation...so if it's meant to be small..it is...large it is...The large is what some speakers struggle with...

Jfrech, are you having regrets moving from Wilson to Rockports?

Hi no, nothing about my current speakers are mentioned...the original poster is asking about Maxx 3s...I am giving my experiences with Maxx 3's since I owned them for a few years...and I stand by those comments entirely.

The Rockport's I now own are not a fair comparison given the price differential and the OP was curious about the Wilson's...

Unless one could get the Maxx 3 very reasonably, the improvements included in the Alexia would be where I'd go. The new tweeter in particular. The Sasha 2 has a variation of the new tweeter, which by most accounts is a step up from the one used in the Maxx 3 and Sasha 1.

While the Maxx3 would still provide the most powerful low end, whether or not that trumps a smoother upper midrange/high end is a personal choice.
