Wilson Alexx + Hammer sub woofers + 4 Statement monoblocks review

Posted by: Tabby cat on 04 November 2017

Just been over on the excellent Audiobeat site and in their Blog section Roy Gregory gives his thoughts on incorporating Wilson's new Hammer sub woofers with the new Alexx loudspeakers.Iniatially he was useing VTL monoblocks with great results but being 12 miles from the factory borrowed 4 Statement monoblocks !!

Very nice review.Could'nt help but think how much weight was on the floor  - the subs alone weighed 412 lb' s each.....as for the statements.Great pictures.....Well worth having a look.

Nice read TABBY CAT.

The last paragraph puts everything in context, as it relates to the music industry, as a whole.

"The Alexx is a fabulous speaker, but its coherence and articulation, presence and tonal sophistication, its resolution and dynamic capabilities are taken to an even greater level when you add serious subwoofers to the mix. The challenge for Wilson and the industry as a whole is to make that reality a possibility at more affordable price points and in less extravagant systems. Then we’d really be delivering the musical goods."

Enjoy your Music!

PS. Nice Pictures Also!

Wilson Alexx are so power hungry that they need 4 statement monoblocs?   it seems incredible!    I thought one statement would be enough....

I wonder how it cpmpares with the quite unrelated Wison Benesch Torus, which to me seems to be a particularly effective design, though I have not yet had a chance to hear

I had the opportunity to check out Alexx, earlier this year, nice Speakers ( $109K )

I really don't have a life, and enjoy fraternizing with the upper crust!

But The guy from Krell, D Agostino, his mono Blocks done a excellent job driving these Babies!

"Compact yet powerful 

compact for an amplifier rated at 300, 600, or 1200 watts into, respectively, 8, 4, or 2 ohms."

Not Bad @ $55K for the Pair!
