Wilson’s Alexx V vs Alexandria XLF


I have a very large room with high ceilings etc,  would it be reasonable to move from and Alexx V to an XLF to fill that space or would that be a down grade?

Also…if you are missing fullness and bass at lower volumes with the Alexx V to me that includes your current amplifiers may not be the right match. Wilsons go down to 2ohm and that can cause phase shifts with amps that aren’t stable or don’t have enough juice at 2ohms. You will most likely face the exact same issue at lower volumes with bigger speakers. 

The room and set up is 50% of the sound - at all price levels.

Classic example here.

As stated, optimize the set up first and foremost.  If this is not possible, forget it.

Happy listening!

When buying Wilson speakers, either new or certified preowned from an authorized dealer, they will come to your home and set them up. During that setup, the dealer would/should recommend any room or system improvements which would enhance the speaker's integration. I went that route when I acquired my Alexia's and could not be happier.
