Helped set up a friend's Wilson Alex X2 driven by Krell Evo 1 and 2 amps . Still to fully run in and loosen up . Serious clout on tap for sure . Could do with a touch of tube for some dimensionality and top end air .
My biggest issue with it was its imaging height . Does fine on big symphonic scores , but my point is more with smaller ensembles , lets take a piano trio for eg. , due to the height of the tweeter /midrange units , the piano imaged at 5-6 feet in the air and the the cymbals at 6-7 feet . Very disconcerting and breaks the illusion one is trying to recreate .
I wonder if this is an issue with set-up or something that is part and parcel of listening to the X2 due to its physicsl stature .Hoping for inputs from users and others who have heard this speaker .
