Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room

Disregard what everyone has told you

They will work just fine in your room

I have X-2's and my room is 31 x 18 x 12. Everyone here has given nothing but their opinion based on no factual data. I own the X-2 and I can tell you that they will be just fine in your room..

IMO there just isn't a better speaker made

"Everyone offered an opinion. What have you offered?"

I suppose it could be called experience. I own the speaker...you don't

I would also sincerely believe that Wilson Audio would not have made that recommendation if they felt that the speaker wouldn't work in that room

Finally and most importantly when that speaker was built it is front ported. The reason for this is very simple....when I toured the Wilson factory and heard the speaker in Dave Wilson's living room I was told that they are cognizant that a significant part of their market is Asia and Europe wher the rooms are much smaller than those here in America. Because of the front porting the speaker can literally be placed up against the front wall with no loss of soundstage.

So I will repeat my initial comment and that the speaker will work just fine in his room

BTW, this IMO was not an argument only a meeting of the minds.

I do agree with you with respect to front porting and bass energy (not soundstage as I had written).

I had posted my response 3 different times before the mods let it through that I was leaving my house and thought I would try to post my thoughts once again and hastily typed away

Nonetheless the X-2 was made with big consideration given to the much smaller rooms in Asia and Europe so in all honesty I don't believe that Wilson Audio would have given out inaccurate information.

It is very rare for a driver to blow. Usually the resistor will blow before the driver.
Have you looked at the resistor panel to see if that is the problem. All too often I see posts here where people claim that they have blown a driver and instead it is the resistor.

No Dave Wilson does not set up X-2's. He used to set up his now discontinued WAMM (at $250K). Your dealer is the one who sets up speakers. They are trained at Wilson Audio how to do this. To me your dealer's non responsiveness is the problem. Because the speaker is still under warranty it is up to your dealer to determine the problem and deal with it appropriately with Wilson Audio who,IMO, has the best group of people working there and will always make a customer happy no matter what speaker he has purchased. That is why I have owned them all. You need to speak to your dealer and aim your sour grapes in the correct direction. Your post is somewhat ambiguous because you state that your 7" midrange driver is gone on your "speakers" implying it is both sides???

I would still bet that you blew a resistor and not the driver and the problem can be rectified in 15 minutes. If so then you need to turn down the volume. If you blew both sides then maybe the wrong amps for the speaker.
