New Wilson?

Alexias Series 2 announced this morning. No pictures made available.
 
Introduction in Munich? Fascinating how frequently Wilson and Magico come up with revisions and new designs.
 
FYI, Alexias protos were revealed in Munich in 2012. First production units were shipped in October 2012.

Sure, but I am referring to company wide introductions, not just one particular model. It seems every year that one of these two companies introduces a completely new or updated version of a speaker. This seems to be more frequent than most other brands, and I think it is exciting: technology marching forward.
 
5 year life cycle is quite normal for Wilson Audio. In fact, the W/P series of speakers have been introduced even sooner - every 4 years.
 
:panic:

Agh crap. I'm taking my Alexias v1 to the dump. They just can't be worth listening to anymore. Dammit!

Some Alexia Series 2 details posted on another forum:

Already the leader in the industry for extremely unyielding manufacturing tolerances, Wilson has further tightened its driver matching protocols.

Work was done in the crossover to make the Alexia Series 2 more amplifier friendly by slightly raising the nominal impedance.

Using enclosure and wire management hardware first pioneered in the Alexx and the WAMM Master Chronosonic, the midrange enclosure’s internal volume was increased by 26.4%, and the woofer enclosure 10.8%.

New WAMM Convergent Synergy tweeter, version Mark V. After hundreds of hours of careful listening, it was clear that Wilson’s tweeter continues to be the most musically authentic and intrinsically satisfying tweeter yet tested, regardless of diaphragm material.

Wilson has implemented a more advanced mechanism for adjustment of the tweeter module, which now features twice the number of adjustments. The Alexia is by a large margin the most time-domain correct loudspeaker in its category.
