WILSON AUDIO’S SEQUEL FOR THEIR BEST-SELLING ALEXIA
Wilson Audio, arguably one of the most desired loudspeaker brands in the world have suggested a sequel to their best selling speaker, the Alexia, is due this year.
The Alexia Series 2 is suggested to share much of the same technology as the Alexx and WAMM Master Chronosonic speakers.
The original Alexia has been award-winning around the globe after being launched in 2012.
Wilson Audio explained:
When it came to designing the Series 2, every angle and curve was scrutinized, every structural element was considered, each of the metal components, large and small, were carefully examined for possible improvements. Nearly everything in the Alexia has been reworked for the Series 2 with an eye toward more elegantly following the underlying technological function responsible for the Alexia’s intrinsic musical rightness.
The focus for developing the Alexia Series 2 is to make the most musical and natural Wilson Audio speaker.
While specific details are still sketchy, StereoNET understands Series 2 will feature Wilson Audio’s new WAMM Convergent Synergy tweeter. The nominal impedance has also been increased so that the Alexia Series 2 will perform well with a wider range of amplifiers.
Work was done in the crossover to make the Alexia Series 2 more amplifier friendly by slightly raising the nominal impedance.
Wilson Audio also says that enclosure volumes have changed, with the midrange enclosure increased by 26.4% and the woofer enclosure by 10.8%.
Wilson Audio have apparently even developed a new composite material for isolation on the mounting feet.
As you would expect Wilson Audio are playing their cards close to their chest for Alexia Series 2, but apparently, all will be revealed in July this year.
We look forward to this one.

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.
