Photos Of New XLF And Silk Dome Tweeter

[vinylphilemag]

The XLF is an impressive looking beast! I too had the opportunity to see the static display at CES, but (alas) missed Dave Wilson. I did, however, get to meet Debbie and Darryl Wilson, who were great hosts!

Looking forward to what is said about the XLF.

I must admit that I am fascinated by the silk dome tweeter.

Thought I would add this to your reading on the XLF (on top of the couple articles that were posted here which were written by reviewers)

A photo and a few comments from one of the first international XLF owners was posted to Wilson's Facebook wall which said:

Dear Wilson Audio Specialist Team;

I have received my ALEXANDRIA XLF three days ago, although i have already owned three pairs of GRAM SLAM and three pairs of ALEXANDRIA ( two pair of mark 1 and one pair of mark 2 ) in my past
15 years . I have never expected my new speaker has such an great improvement in every aspect . At first i was really quite worry about the new tweeter since my ear have get use to the metal tweeter for so many years ,but when I turn on my amplifier after connected the new speaker
I was really shocked by the sound even my wife was can't believed the sound has such a great improvement . We are so happy to listen to all kind of familiar music again and again and don't want to stop at all.

I would like to say although the speaker was not cheap but if you compare with some speakers they were selling in much more higher price but in return you can never have such an good and reasonable return as from yours.

I think it is wonderful to hear back from the owners, and hear their feedback!

Steve, check in the mirror to see if there's a target painted on your back....

Thanks Steve, read those before (but worth linking) along with Ken Kessler initial thoughts as well (not posted).
Looking forward to a more extensive listening session report.

Thanks again

See that Larry Marcus/Paragon Sight and Sound in MI now has the XLFs in house. Be interesting as he has a lot of interesting electronics to run with the Wilson's such as Momentum, ARC and Doshi

Marty and I are going to Scottsdale Az April 24th (finally) to hear the new XLF vs the new Aida

Nice! All 3 should sound great...would be particularly interested to hear if the Doshis can run them full throttle.
