Wilson Alexandria X-2 with ML N33???

I use X2's with 33's. I consider them to be the best overall amplifier for the speakers. DW uses 33's at home and can use anything he wants so draw your own conclusions.

BTW mine are the ultra high current version 240v 30amp and I have installed them with dedicated individual circuits and ground spike so they are not on the house earth loop. I also have recently used them with Transparent's Power Isolator XL's which given that the 33's regenerate their own power internally shouldn't make any difference, well they do and it's not subtle. I recommend you try them.

Also with the X2's make sure you use the 28.6 ohm woofer damping resistor and not the 32 ohm that the X2 ships with. Both are in the tool kit so its easy to swap them over.

Hemisferik,

What difference did swapping out the resistors make?

The factory now ships all X2's with the 28.6 resistor as standard. The 32ohm are only used in special cases such as Spectral or Boulder amps which have very high damping factors.

In my experience the 28.6 significantaly improve the woofer control and perceived bass response they really tighten up the lower octaves. Try them and see which you prefer.

Please let me know me know how you go.

Oh and by the way make sure you change the mid and tweeter resistors at least every quarter. They do decay over time. I change mine every month but then I listen to mine pretty much all the time.

The resistors do get affected by high current heat loads which can change the resistor value under load. Always change them before fine tuning.

Do these resistors also need to be changed in Watt Puppy 7s? I never have seen anything about this but I am putting a lot of power into mine?
