Wilson MAXX II speakers-


anyone willing to offer their opinions on these speakers-
how great an improvement do they represent over the maxx-I?
i liked thw maxx's but i wonder if they're a bit much for a 14x20 room. my eggleston andra-II's are already "shaking the walls"! too bad wilson doesn't make a w.puppy with an 8 and a 10 or two 10's (woofers) & refine/replace the tweeters (with a scanspeak or a dynaudio)--(soft dome). but, i truly love the build quality of wilsons...

I am waiting for the update for my original MAXX - which i love dearly (replaced a pair of B&W Nautilus 800).

By the way - I run them in a room 15' x 15' (though with a ceiling height of 14' and opening into a room of 15' x 30'. However, my listening chair is only about 6 1/2 ft away from the speakers which are about the same distance apart and toed in - this is a great set-up with precise imaging and a wide deep stage. (see picture in My System) MAXX can definitely be used in a smaller room and close up!

(FYI: I run them with KR Kronzilla Doublemonos (tube) with 40 WPC - and I have no power problem whatsoever...)

You will have a lot of fun with the MAXX II!!

Cheers,
Arthur
The update is not out yet - seems to take a while after the launch of the Mk II speakers... But I was told by WA that a few elements of the Mk II are available as upgrade - presumably the new tweeter and cross-overs. The casework is obviously a bit hard to upgrade... Prices for the upgrade are also not yet available...
