Wilson WP7 versus X1 - Gen III and Maxx II's


I am not interested in other speaker manufactures.

I have an opportunity to upgrade to X1 Gen III for way less than Maxx II's used (if they were even available). My only concern is will I lose anything that the WP7's do so amazingly well? I know setup of the X-1's will be even more critcal.

Opinions?

Chris,

One OBGYN says it all. Patience is the key here. YOu don't need the headache. I also will add, that you can get most of that wall of sound in your room w. your Wilson 7s. How is the Theta gear doing. It should make you very happy. If you aren't getting the wall of sound go into analogue or do more room treatement. I am getting an amazing wall. I treated my ceiling which did a lot. I will post some pictures once I get a chance. I think any speaker upgrade will be pointless unless you really aggresively treat your room.
Thanks Guys for all the suggestions, Once I position my speakers correctly I will mount my ceiling treatments for first order and hang the first order on the side walls. I still have to treat for slap echo on the side walls at the ceiling joints with Aurlex that I already have.

The Theta Gear has been awesome, limitless power where the Lamm never had that feeling plus better low low bass control. But as all upgrades go, you taste a little and want more and then I find this deal....

I know I should listen to both of you and just get my setup dialed in and wait till I can do Maxx's.... I'm going to try and give the X-1's a listen this week and see. I'll keep everyone posted.

The pictures make the room look really small, the speakers are way farther back now, I had them on the carpet because I didn't have floor protectors because of order problems from Sound Anchors on the Cone Coasters.
The other option to consider is to buy a used pair of Maxx l's which go for $15-$20K and do the Maxx ll upgrade which can be done in the field. I believe it costs ~$5500
Not sure what you mean by Lamm. I have the ML 2.1 driving my huge X-2's. At 18 wpc I assure you that there is plenty of headroom. It is the most musical amp that I have ever owned.
Trust Oneobgyn, your room is definitely too small for the Maxx's or X-1's. The WP7's too seem sacrificed there: how you can ever consider a bigger speaker ? Are you just looking for resonances and wall shacking ? Sorry but your plan seems really absurd to me.
