I upgraded from Alexia v1 to the Alexx a few months ago. Despite break in and professional alignment of drivers and positioning, I'm not really satisfied with the sound.
In particular:
A- The bass is very subdued compared to the Alexias. Its there, but its very much in the background.
Even on Come Together, you can barely 'feel it' at loud volumes.
B-At volumes I like to listen, certain electric guitar leads, piano notes or vocals seem a bit harsh.
I wonder if this is just how realistic or accurate the speaker presents the recording but it doesnt seem as full-bodied a presentation as the Alexias. This quality makes me feel that I am too close to the speakers, and that I have to reduce the volume to tolerate the treble which reduces the visceral impact I’d like to get from listening.
Any counsel is appreciated.
