Everything Wilson Audio knows about loudspeaker design is now contained in our flagship product, the Alexandria.

New Midrange Driver

For years, Wilson Audio, like many speaker companies, has sourced its drivers from outside, specialized manufacturers. These units have never been bought simply as off-the-shelf drop-ins. Once the raw drivers arrive at the Wilson factory, they've always been extensively modified, or, in some cases, essentially "re-manufactured" on site to Wilson's precise specifications and tolerances.

With this new driver, Dave and the Wilson design team, have, in strategic partnership with a new driver manufacturer, raised the performance bar in the critical midrange. To meet the design challenge of a highly rigid but low moving mass cone, we co-engineered a special blend of carbon fiber and paper pulp.

Because the midrange is arguably the heart and soul of music, we wanted the bandwidth of the driver to be as broad as possible, so as to reveal the true density and color and tone of musical instruments. Most importantly, because of its ability to start and stop instantaneously, it is capable of reproducing the subtle dynamic cues and low-level reflections that we recognize from live music.
