General:
Super clean set of covered Alexia speakers in the updated series 2 version.

Stunning Diamond Black finish.

Acquired from the original owner who used them sparingly and took great care.

These speakers come complete with clean grills, spikes, owner's manual, and a set of custom casters.

These will ship via freight at an additional cost. Local pickup also welcome.

Cosmetic Notes:
• Light scratching in upper-left of both speaker bass cabinets from grill removal/replacement.
• Minor paint chipping near woofers but all covered by grills.

These speaker have received an insane amount of awards over the years.

Most notably, the speakers deliver music in a way that invites extended listening and emotional engagement…a deeper connection with the lyrics and the music. You are inspired, moved…a smile or a tear.

These experiences are what I crave for, outside of critical listening for reviewing purpose. When I listen for pleasure, I need to feel. And Alexia Series 2 douses me with a pouring of emotions as it reaches into the listening space and resolutely grasps you in her beautiful embrace.

For this reason alone—never mind the individual aspects of superiority over Alexia —this is my new reference speaker. This is where technology meets art. The beauty stays; she’s a songstress. Edgar Kramer, Soundstage Australia

Testing Process:

Our speaker evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors.

After the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle. During listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement.

Our subwoofer evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, cone damage, or rubbing voice coils. We also inspect the input connections for damage.

After the initial visual inspection, we connect the sub at our bench and perform a sine wave sweep from about 200Hz down to around 10Hz. During this sweep we are listening for excessive rattle or other signs of improper function. If the sweep passes, we then increase the input level to evaluate how the woofer performs at high output levels. If the woofer has built in crossover features or multiple connection options these features are tested at this time.

We complete the subwoofer evaluation by feeding the unit with an audio signal in conjunction with our house music system to see how it responds to low frequency content in real world conditions while paired with a full range system.
