Wilson Audio have always been recognized for the ability with which they released astonishing pieces of technology and the extremely high quality of everything bearing their badge. The Wilson Alexandria X-2 loudspeaker is no different - it is well worthy of being called a flagship product not only in what Wilson products are concerned but in the whole industry as well.

The Wilson Alexandria X-2 can sit in line with
other loudspeakers such as Von Schweikert or Bang & Olufsen, as we're speaking here so much more than a simple "box". Alexandria X-2 comes in at a hefty price of $135K per pair, but don't think that if you've just won the lottery you can go and buy some X-2s... sometimes you'll need to wait as much as 9 months in line as it seems that Wilson's work is highly appreciated by a lot of other people who are both willing to have such sound in their homes and can also afford to buy it.

With a frequency response ranging between 18Hz and 22.5kHz, the Wilson Alexandria X-2 will offer you everything there
