Wilson Audio. Authentic Excellence.

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

New Tweeter

Subsequent to the introduction of the Series 1 Alexandria, Wilson Audio developed our most advanced tweeter for the MAXX Series 2 and later, the WATT/Puppy System 8. That design has now been further refined and improved for the Alexandria Series 2.

Once again, the overriding objective was to lower the noise floor, and thus increase low-level resolution, so that the new tweeter could play in the same league as the newly designed midrange. The primary culprit for tweeter noise is the unabsorbed reflections form the back wave. The Alexandria features a new damping material that effectively randomizes and disperses these reflections. The new design immediately lowered the output of the tweeter by 1.5 dB, the sum-total of which represented the noise component of the previous version.

A new milled sub assembly of X material provides a black, resonance-free background for the quietest, most grain-free tweeter in our history.

system whose limitations, for all practical purposes, didn’t exist.” —Jeff Fritz, Ultra Audio, on the Alexandria X-2
