Re: alexia V
I owned the first version of the Alexia’s. Enjoyed them for 5 years. Sold them to a friend that’s enjoying them immensely with ARC power. Look forward to listening to the Alexia Vs.

Re: alexia V
No plans to change my Alexia's but if I did I would look hard at MBL for my needs. Main focus is HT.

Re: alexia V
I wish we had the answer to that question.

The introduction of Alexia 2 was almost 6 years ago, well before the multiple supply chain raw material price increases that began in 2020 and to some degree have not fully subsided today. We see scheduled ongoing price increases from vendors, as many as 4 in 2022 for some. Freight increases alone, in and out, are brutal. While we would prefer to have the same price as Alexia 2, our desire to bring Alexia V along the technology path of Chronosonic XVX and Alexx V added to these ongoing vendor increases made that impossible.

Re: alexia V
While recognizing that inflation may result in no good choices, to me, a higher price on a superior replacement product is a lot more palatable than a price increase on an old model.

that said in europe the price went up from 74 to 92k (standard colors), that is more than 20% increase for no other reason than greed and puts me out of interest while i was sure to get a pair. just not willing to play that game.
great review btw. wilson knows how to do the job more than just right.

Re: alexia V
I'm guessing that much of the increase you're seeing in Europe is due to currency effects due to a very strong US dollar vs. the Euro. Originally Posted by u-sound

Re: alexia V
The Alexia V will be the main event when Paragon has the first of its 5 Fall music events on the 6th of October. That will be followed by another October event, two in November and the last in December. Nice to have these to look forward to after a couole of years of Covid.

Re: alexia V
I am very happy with my Alexia 2. When I am ready for the speaker upgrade, I think I will first consider the bigger model, Alexx V or even a pair of used Alexx.

Re: alexia V
Nice review by Jason in Stereophile: Wilson Audio Specialties Alexia V loudspeaker | Stereophile.com
Assume he upgraded from his prior Alexia 2 speakers, based on the setup comments.Steve Schaffer

Re: alexia V
Have had the new Alexia V's for a few weeks now:
Words to describe what I’m hearing so far:
The Alexia V delivers!
No more clutter…unpacks everything…nothing is hidden..ruthlessly exposes everything, including too close or bad miking in the source
Articulate comes to mind, as does clarity and lifelike decay
The soundscape is more clearly exposed in all three dimensions
Yet the background is quieter than it’s predecessor
Three dimensionality is magnified yet with proper proportionality
There’s a deep bass foundation that effortlessly delivers, when called for with propulsive force
More articulate and dynamic…listening to Senor Mouse with Chick Corea and Gary Burton the instruments are more like the real thing…as are massed voices and an accordion on cuts like “Talk to Me of Mendocino” on Kate and Anna McGarrigle’s “Tell My Sister”. Like many other instruments played through the V’s, it's more realistically rendered.
Authoritative - especially moving air - think a Joe Frazier body blow
Greater delineation, resolution and accuracy of sounds with a better and more pinpoint soundstage imaging - this midrange is wonderful as is the tweeter. Seamless and absolutely time coherent presentation throughout
This speaker seems to demand you play the system louder to let it blossom, yet you don’t feel you’re being overwhelmed or swamped in the listening. And proportionality is maintained throughout the sonic spectrum.
Everything is more realistic…even the audience in live recordings is captured in all manner of varied microphone placements
Net: refined yet mighty!Steve Schaffer

Re: alexia V
listened to the Alexia V's last friday, driven by a Progression S350 and a Linn Klimax streamer/DAC, it sounded fantastic, effortless music.
The Alexia's were still on the transport wheels, I can imagine further improvement when the wilson Diodes are installed.Moon 700i V2, YG Acoustics Hailey, Aurender N10, dCS Rossini, Oppo BDP103D (audiopraise board), Ansuz Mainz 8 D2
