Wilson Audio’s Alexx Lands in Australia
Wilson Audio for many, is considered the benchmark for the ultimate in loudspeakers. A statement; serious output yet controlled, fluid and refined. Alexx is the company's latest creation, and it's not small.
The fourth all-new loudspeaker from Wilson Audio in as many years, many assume Alexx replaces the venerable MAXX, in that it is Wilson’s latest entry into the large speaker segment just below the Alexandria, but, in reality, the comparison with the MAXX begins and ends there.
According to Wilson Audio, Alexx is an altogether more complex and sophisticated loudspeaker, incorporating their latest developments in loudspeaker design in the areas of time-domain geometry, driver configuration, and driver development.
It is the latest beneficiary of Wilson’s ongoing analysis of low-resonance cabinet strategies via laser micrometer. Alexx draws upon designs including their more recent speakers such as the Alexia and the Sabrina, as well as the WAMM, Dave Wilson’s up and coming Magnum Opus, with which it was developed concurrently.
Distributed in Australia by Advance Audio, their Sydney specialist dealer Audio Connection has taken delivery of the only pair of WIlson Audio Alexx in the country, and they're now available for audition running with a DCS digital front-end, VTL S-400 stereo amplifier, Gryphon pre-amplifier and Nordost Valhalla2 cabling.
Finished in a striking Bugatti Blue, they can be yours for a cool $179,995.00

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
