Oh crap… I’ve been lusting after a pair of Wilson speakers forever… can’t stretch the budget to Alexx however, but who knows, maybe a pair of W/P’s or Sophia’s (which just sound SOOO right)

The issue is Wilson has announced the upgrade model Alexx V. So every dealer holding on to a pair of the original Alexx wants to get rid of them quick. Or so it would seem.

Dude, just get the Alexx V! Have you seen how gorgeous they are? Yowza! You need Alexx V! Only live once!
(Fly Yellow)
No doubts here. I am willing to pay list price and maybe even sales tax.
I want my Grand Funk Railroad records to sound their very best!!!
But which color to choose!!!

Easy - Fly Yellow, of course (matches color of Porsche 911 in garage, haha, at least that’ll be my reason in 20 years, ah, sigh, dream big anyway)

I wonder how many PM‘s you get from money-grubbing sales people, given your limitless open wallet 
I am considering buying an Alexx, if the right color. Reality is a bummer, that is just a pipe dream; but, I do enjoy fantasizing.

Thanks @jamesh for the tour yesterday! The new speakers look fantastic!
But I admit that I was surprised to see horn tweeters.

Glad you enjoyed! That is why Paul hasn’t posted any pictures of the final design. We’re very excited to showcase the new horn design!

Get a red one and a black one. You don’t want to forget which is the right channel and which is the left.

Haha, those are pro speakers that Bob and I did for a new digital pipe organ system at this church. After evaluating some commercially available pro options, we decided to roll our own using some Eminence and Celestion products using our own crossover design (Bob even rolled a nice PCB for them).
10 cabinets of those along with a pair of 18" custom woofers I did that are being put in 8 cubic foot 16 Hz tuned vented boxes for the pedals. A pretty cool and fun project, if you ask me.
The funny thing is that I’m working on an elliptical waveguide design for another potential new product that doesn’t involve ribbons. It’s about using the right tool for the job and so we will have other products that aren’t ribbon/planar based.

What did you think of the incorporation of air driven low frequency drivers, al la pipe organ technology?
I think its a great feature, performance capability-wise, but I fear the air compressors will just make too much noise for most customer’s tastes. I, for one, just don’t have the space to keep the air pumps in one room and the speakers in another.
I guess this first pair of speakers is going to be a true niche product.

phew, so we will see ribbons !!
There’s nothing better for reproducing accurate and realistic organ notes than having organ-like pipes in the speakers themselves.
I agree.
Cheers.
