| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer Roon has the best user interface in the business but IMO depending on streamer/server used not the best sound quality. I use Innous Sense app with Zenith mk 3 with fabulous results. | |

| Dan D'Agostino S250 MxV enough power for Wilson Audio Alexia V I had the Alexia in my system. Rarely did it need more than 35-60 watts to drive them to 85-90db sound level. So yes the Dan will be more than adequate. | |
| Classe vs Luxman any thoughts on the Stereo power amps? I own both the CT-M600 and Delta mono blocks. Can't speak to Luxman. Both companies are now owned by a conglomerate. I love my amps! The Delta's are better than the M600. Both amps got rave reviews and their specs are ideal. That said I don't ... | |
| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade I would upgrade your speaker to a floor stander which will have better frequency integration than an sat/sub. brand is your preference. I love Wilson. Just upgraded from Alexia (with two subs) to Alexx V (no sub) and realized big SQ improvements. | |
| Was the upgrade from Alexia 1 to Alexx V worth it? @mgattmch In the January 2022 Issue of HiFi News Ken Kessler also reviewed the Alexx V and said "It’s dangerous to say these words, but here goes... the Alexx V is the best damned speaker I have ever heard." and gave it a 95%. Having lived with th... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @thyname Yes and no go. The bass on the Allexx V is so low, articulate, and fast that I felt the D212 muddled things up. They are now in my HT system. Replaced my pair of M&K 350's that were 20 years old. | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @thyname Obvious first step. Just wondering how a sub that goes down to 15Hz at best will interact with the floor stander that goes to 20 Hz. My room acoustics are good with little to no standing wave problems. As to appropriate crossover frequen... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. Just installed the Alexx V's and temporarily took out the subs. The bass is wonderfully detailed and provides plenty of low end energy in my room. Wondering if I even need the subs? May move them into the HT to replace my M&K 350 subs that a... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @velcro22 I have been very pleased with the D212 subs paired with my Wilson Alexia. Have them set a 45 HZ Low Pass Filter. My Alexx V's arrive tomorrow. After break-in I will let you know how the subs sound. Suspect I will be lowing the Low Pa... | |

| Choice between Wilson Audio Alexx or the Alexia V I currently own the Alexia 1 and have new Alexx V's arriving in a week or so. I'm also very curious about the SQ delta. I love the Alexia which I have paired with two Perlisten D-212 subs. Both of these speakers require similar amp current as th... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k I don't think there is only one right speaker for each pair of ears. I tend to like a lot of speakers and depending on my mood at the time, could select several winners. Unfortunately we can't hear the candidates in our listening room and with ou... | |
| Magico vs the world I own the A-5 and like them a lot. The only fault I can find is that they don't cast a 3D image as well as most Wilson's do. I attribute that to the lack of time alignment. | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @hiendmmoe Well said! Many folks on this forum seem to think that those with more resources are somehow not true "audiophiles". Wilson Audio seems to trigger them? |
