I bought my dream speakers, the Wilson Alexia 2s...

They are shipping today. I will try to post some unboxing pics when they arrive. They may offer up a little more bass than my current Magnepan 1.7s.

Super exciting!

 

Congrats, Lee.

 

Thank you. It's been a journey.

 

Have you been using subs with your Maggies?

 

Awesome!

 

I have not as once I decided on the Wilsons, I decided to divert the sub money to savings.

 

Thanks Art!

 

Congrats.
If you want to extract every last drop out of them consider googling "The Sumiko Master Set for Speaker Placement."
Developed by John Hunter of Sonus Faber fame and very closely aligned with recommendations by Dave Wilson---it matters within a 1/16 of an inch WHERE you put your speakers.
Especially something as glorious as yours.
Anyway now you have something worth all the effort.
When done you should be listening to a hologram of the recording session.
Best wishes.

 

Good to hear...

Pictures would be great.

 

What will be upstream? ...

 

Very exciting! I haven’t heard the Alexias but a friend has the Sasha’s and they sound very,very good. Enjoy!

 

Happy for you Lee!

 

Congrats! I love my Wilson Yvette's. I can't imagine how good the Alexia 2's are gonna sound. Please post pics of the setup. What color?

 

I've heard the original Watt Puppies and the Grand Slams. Back then, their prices were 50K and 100K respectively (in CDN).

Best speakers I've ever heard.

 

Buying new gear saves money. I use the same logic when buying new gear. Honest, I'm saving money by buying this.

Those speakers are going to be awesome. What color are they?

 

Those are wonderful speakers Lee. Congratulations! As everyone else said, share some pictures!

 

So what's the first record you will hear on your new speakers?

 

I spent an afternoon with these and was well impressed. I think I'd drive myself crazy setting them up. Congrats! What color?

 

Congrats on the win!

 

Congrats- huge purchase.

 

ARC gear, PS Audio DirectStream DAC and memory player, VPI Scoutmaster with Soundsmith Paua II cartridge.

 

Topaz with black grills and "clear" hardware which means brushed aluminum.

 

Blue Mitchell Music Matters LP.

 

Wow! Congrats! Hope everything goes well with Delivery & Setup. Should be a magnificent system.


Jealous.

 

Beautiful speakers, congrats! I was looking at the specs for the Alexia 2's and was very surprised that Wilson states that they can be used with as little as 20 wpc! Please let us know how they sound once you get them dialed in.
