When it came to designing the Series 2, every angle and curve was scrutinized, every structural element was considered, each of the metal components, large and small, were carefully examined for possible improvements.

Nearly everything in the Alexia has been reworked for the Series 2 with an eye toward more elegantly following the underlying technological function responsible for the Alexia’s intrinsic musical rightness.

 

OVERVIEW

Already the leader in the industry for extremely unyielding manufacturing tolerances, Wilson has further tightened its driver matching protocols. Work was done in the crossover to make the Alexia Series 2 more amplifier friendly by slightly raising the nominal impedance. Using enclosure and wire management hardware first pioneered in the Alexx and the WAMM Master Chronosonic, the midrange enclosure’s internal volume was increased by 26.4%, and the woofer enclosure 10.8%.

After hundreds of hours of careful listening, it was clear that Wilson’s tweeter continues to be the most musically authentic and intrinsically satisfying tweeter yet tested, regardless of diaphragm material.

Wilson has implemented a more advanced mechanism for adjustment of the tweeter module, which now features twice the number of adjustments. The Alexia is by a large margin the most time-domain correct loudspeaker in its category.

Time & Sound

Alexia’s modular design, with each of the three drivers mounted in their own individual enclosure, facilitates extremely fine adjustment within the time domain. The midrange and tweeter are adjusted independently of the woofer enclosure such that the three drivers can be precisely aligned for each unique installation.

Design

Like all recent Wilson designs, the Alexia Series 2 is the beneficiary of Wilson’s state-of-the-art composite research, the heart of which is the laser vibrometer. This measurement tool allows Wilson’s engineers to see minute vibrations—on the order of a billionth of a meter.

Enclosure Materials

Wilson’s latest breakthrough, W-Material, called such because of its relationship to the development of the new WAMM, possesses remarkable energy dissipation (damping) characteristics heretofore unobserved in any previous composite when combined with W’s extreme rigidity. Wilson’s engineers found that strategically placing W-Material under the modules’ spike support areas greatly reduced unwanted energy at this critical mechanical interface, without in any way compromising the cabinet’s structural rigidity.

A Classic Reborn

How do you update a classic? By almost any measure, the Alexia has been one of Wilson’s most successful products. The physicians’ maxim of Primum non nocere (first do no harm) certainly applies here. On the other hand, Wilson’s technology has continued to evolve and advance in the areas of drivers, crossover analysis and design, time-alignment accuracy, and composite materials research.
