Nice. Are they powerful enough to drive those Wilson speakers? I had thought the first white products were mostly low power specialty amplifiers for very specific loads.
All of the FW amps (J2, F8, SIT 3/4) I've paired with the Alexia 2 have been magical. The speakers are really a 4 ohm load so even the SIT 4 with only 5-wpc was super. The much more powerful SIT 5 with ~80-wpc Into 4-ohm) can play louder than I care to. With classic jazz and instrumentals there is no power restriction and even with pop they drive the speakers to my limit with a lot left on the volume knob. They don't have the overhead and maybe a loss of dynamics at very elevated volume compared to the XA60.8 but the sonic trade off is substantial. Really no comparison...

This is what I use to be where I sit so I can manually focus the camera and set lighting.
