Dear @carey1110 : Other alternatives can be: Focal where @albertporter can chime because he owns these top speakers and Tidal is other good option as could be Sonus Faber:

So Wilson or Magico are not alone out there and exist other options that not only can compete but even outpermos it.

The speakers market offer is truly wide open from the " humble " ones to the " dream " designs.

A totally diferent but good " humble " option are a very good small monitors along a pair of good designed self powered subwoofer with an external Xover crossing at around 80hz-90hz. Here one of this alternative:

with this Xover:

these could be the subs, these are a true subwoofer:

I can tell you that this last option could even or outperfors the V or the Magico, at least has the rigth characteristics and really good overall designs to do it.

Dear @carey1110 : Other great advantage to own/buy that posted last alternative is that you can choose between different mid/high frequency ranges monitors where you can find out in an " easy " way the kind of sound reproduction ( in that frequency range ) you are looking for.

You can listen different monitors coming not only from the manufacturers I posted the links but many others very good options out there.
Even in the future if you like a new monitor model for any speaker manufacturer you can buy it and you can sold/sale the ones you own a lot more easy that any of those expensive big speakers.

Other advantage is that your main amplifier or amplifiers not only will increment its headroom but that will performs way better " looking " only the easy mid/high frequency ranges and not the bass range that even in the amp intrude in the quality sound level and distortion levels of any amplifier.

Obviously that everything is up to you.

The new Alexx V looks awesome!, Wilson has released some pics and more info on their Website. The open more ridged Gantry will ,I think, give a cleaner clearer sound. Also the dissimilar midrange drivers will blend better with the bass. I really think this Alexx V will be much improved, we shall soon see. SUCH a better look IMHO. I can’t wait to hear it. Yes I’m a Wilson fan   http://https//www.wilsonaudio.com/products/alexx/alexx-v

Dear @carey1110  : "   Yes I’m a Wilson fan. "

My mistake/Iwas wrong because I was thinking that a gentleman looking for the kind of quality level of a speaker as Wilson his main target should be MUSIC and its quality level home reproduction.

I'm fan of MUSIC not fan of any kind of hardware that's need it to enjoy MUSIC at the best/high quality levels we can get  and you can get that " best " with other hardware options but go a head with what makes you happy.

Sorry to disturb you with all my posts that certainly were not for an audiophile as you.

Nothing wrong , each one of us has our unique targets, priorities and preferences.
