Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis

Hi,
I am looking for an upgrade from my Kharma 3.2.2. The Maxx3 and the Isis both similarly priced, are on my list.
Can anyone who have heard both give some comparisons of the two.. in terms of musicality, dynamics, refinement, soundstaging, and importantly demand for amplifier power?

thanks.

Hi,the Isis sound better with high quality tube amps,finding one to drive them is another question.The Cat has the sonics and the guts to drive the Isis better than any tube amp I know of,even higher powered ones.The Maxx3 is a fine speaker but Wilson does have a family sound and if you like it that is the speaker for you,the Isis is transparent,detailed and throws a huge soundstage and just sounds like real music.I have owned them for 3 years and could buy any speaker I want but have no intention of changing.
