Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room

I dont think big speakers cant work in smaller rooms, my room is 14X18 and I have rather large VMPS FF3SRE speakers and I dont feel they over-power the room. I would not simply ignore most any speaker until it is employed in the specific room it is intended for.
I mention these alot because they really impressed me so here goes again, the Vandersteen 5A is a fantastic speaker wich I feel are more musical than Wilson, wich I went to a demo of a couple times. The really cool part of the 5A besides its excellent performance is its 11 band bass tuning EQ feature wich will allow dealer to dial it in for best performance in most any room. The cost is around $18K
but that is pretty cheap compared to the Wilson's you are thinking of buying. Unless you have already heard or just plain dont think you like Vandersteen then ofcourse ignore my post, if however you have not heard these I bet you would be very pleased you did.

Don't do it! Won't sound good! I sold my MAXX because they didn't sound good in a room your size!

I've never heard them and never will. But how they could sound good in a small room eludes me. Better off with triple QUADS or something like that. Or, gee, I bunch of small stacked Magicos at $22K a pair.

In a lot of places in the U.S., it's hard to build a utility closet for $65k these days -- that sounds extremely optimistic for a dedicated room. I have a close friend who lives in a low-cost part of the country and his dedicated room is coming in around $200k. The idea is right on the mark, however. You'll get dramatically better sound -- absolutely no comparison -- by building a well designed dedicated room and going with a much more modest speaker, as opposed to putting a state-of-the-art, $135k speaker in a regular room.

As for X-2's specifically, whether it will "work" in smaller rooms is beside the point. It is absurd to use a speaker of its abilities in anything other than a purpose-built, dedicated room, with anything other than state-of-the-art componentry, and without giving it the very best set-up job. It's like owning a Ferrari, but putting a $250 set of tires on it. $135k speaker in a regular room? ... You know the answer.

Are you buying these new from an authorized Wilson dealer? If so, then dosen't Dave Wilson come to your house and personally set them up for you? Why don't you fly out to the Wilson factory and spend a few days listening to their products in their optimized listening rooms? Bring details pictures and diagrams of your listening room and ask them if they can match their room's sound quality in your room.

The Wilson may or may not be an optimal match for your room, but if your Salons with dual Revel subs are not overloading your room, then the Wilsons probably won't either.
