As was true for the Alexandria redesign, the lower distortion and greater transparency of the new Wilson midrange driver revealed limitations within the previous generation's crossovers. It became clear that an overhaul was in order. Wilson continues to refine its proprietary Anti-jitter crossover strategy; lessons learned in Alexandria's development are now applied to the MAXX Series 3. The vanishingly low noise floor of the new crossover in tandem with the new driver delivers resolution and nuance heretofore the strict provenance of the Alexandria Series 2. Dave and the engineering team labored for hundreds of hours fine tuning the crossover, working for a seamless driver-to-driver transition. Along with tonal beauty, dynamic integrity, and wide bandwidth, the new MAXX sets new standards (equaled only by Alexandria itself) for the coherent integration of all the drivers. Music seems to emanate from the MAXX Series 3 as if from a single, very wide bandwidth, high-resolution driver. A key architectural element of MAXX Series 3 is the mechanical and electrical isolation of the crossovers. The midrange crossover has been relocated to the bass cabinet, freeing up space for both it and the now independent tweeter crossover. |

The removable rear panel accesses proprietary driver tuning and protection hardware. In all Wilson loudspeakers, the crossover assemblies themselves are wholly encased in epoxy. This serves two functions. One, it eliminates a possible source of electromechanical resonance, and two, it frankly preserves the proprietary nature of some of the technology which makes Wilson Audio crossovers unparalleled in the audio world. |
