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!
