Re: Wilson Audio, Alexandria speakers


Those speakers are one of the most expensive in production.

Oddly enough, I have read a lot of very bad reviews of wilson speakers.

I wouldn't kick them out of my house, though.

Re: Wilson Audio, Alexandria speakers


Not impressed. B&W 802D, at a tiny fraction of the cost, measures superior in every important aspect as compared the very expensive top end Wilson speakers. Revel also has a speaker that measures similar to the 802D, at a slightly lower cost, though the specific model number escapes me at the moment.

Want the ultimate monopole speaker sound quality? Just get the 802Ds, proper room treatment, a pair of high quality top notch subs and use a powerful DSP crossover/processor such as a DCX2496 to integrate the subs and mains, and to apply tonal alteration filters on the mains(a critical step to achieving ideal sound to preference-the 802D after all is a linear and neutral monitor - so it is ideally suited to tonal modification in a predictable and reliable fashion by way of high precision hardware).

Those have to be just about the ugliest speakers I've ever seen.
