Alexandria X-2 Series 2 Delivery and Install

[Steve Williams]

No subs Steve.

we need to have a talk then

With your room size a pair of JL Audio F112's or F113's would take you to the next step. IMO a pair of or even a single Gotham would be too much

I may have to look into JL...lol..I am pretty smitten with the Bass extension of these speakers w/o a sub...

Congratulations! What a bargain price for such speakers... "tears" pretty much sums it up well for us... Let's have more details on the sound when you get a chance.

So what the final $$$ damage, Christian?

$60K delivered and installed plus I got a $10K trade on my Watt/Puppies ($50k net)...smokin' deal, imo.

Sure sounds like it. Congratulations! I remember when you first posted pics of your system at the SH Forums I thought your W/P's were the weak link.

Congrats Christian... you'll have to listen to everything all over again to get your reference back!

Were they new or used?

Were they new or used?

used, factory certified with 5 year wilson warranty. They are indistinguishable from new including the paint.

Yes, you did have a screaming deal. At that price, I could have had them instead of my MBLs ! But I'll bet my MBL wood crates are prettier than your Wilson creates with precision hand sanded pieces and with built-in tilt meter on each crate!

 

[RBFC]

Absolutely wonderful! I hope you have fun rediscovering your music collection!

[LL21]

Congrats! They are stunning! But the truly stunning part is in the listening! What a great move! And an incredibly good deal. Enjoy!!!

 

[flez007]

I already hate you Christian!

Jokes aside... Congratulations on your new speakers, they look and surely sound great!

 

[slowGEEZR]

Congratulations! What a move, from a great speaker to an even greater speaker. I can't even imagine how good the sound must be.

Christian

I am actually quite interested in your observations re nearfield listening with the X-2

It's like the confines of the room are the soundstage. It gives you a real sense of great close to stage seating. You really feel the low frequency sound pressure. I will share more impressions as my listening eperience grows. My jaw drops and my mouth dry's every time I listen. Thank goodness for tasty beverages...

Christian, I'm happy for ya'. Congratulations ten fold!

and Depends

If Christian engages in prolonged listening sessions, Depends might not cut it... you would need to prescribe a catheter.

Just hook me up like those people in the matrix. Feed me liquids, change my catheter and keep my ears clean....
