Wilson Audio Specialties Alexx V loudspeaker

Jim Austin Nov 17, 2021

The Wilson Audio Specialties Alexx V ($135,000$151,000/pair) is the biggest, heaviest, most expensive loudspeaker I've had in my listening room. It replaces the original Alexx in Wilson's lineup; Michael Fremer reviewed the earlier Alexx, bought it, and owned it until replacing it recently with the Wilson Chronosonic XVX.

As We See It

Complicated

Jim Austin Nov 16, 2021

Even though I'm the editor of Stereophile, I sometimes struggle to get my audio system to play. It's a little bit embarrassing. Just last night, I put on a record and there was no sound. I figured out the problem immediately: I'd forgotten to turn on the amplifiers. But the reason isn't always so obvious.

Revinylization #23: Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, Oliver Nelson

Fred Kaplan Nov 11, 2021

Two new reissues in Blue Note's Classic Vinyl seriesGrant Green's Idle Moments and Kenny Burrell's Midnight Bluecapture peaks of jazz guitar's possibilities at a juncture when modernism was primed for a shift to something else. Both albums were recorded in 1963; both sport "the Blue Note sound," which engineer Rudy Van Gelder had refined to its high point. But the two albums lay out very different musical paths.

Capital Audiofest 2021: It's a Wrap

Ken Micallef Nov 09, 2021

Capital Audiofest 2021 was a fantastic show. Everyone I spoke to—vendors, visitors, the helpful Hilton staff—was jazzed to be there. Everyone was in good spirits. While I didn’t see as many attendees in total as at the 2019 CAF show pre-Covid, every room I visited was full, and in many midday cases, standing-room-only.
