Wilson Audio Maxx 3, Including Original Packaging
NL.
General : Reference loudspeaker by Wilson Audio.
Technical : The Wilson Maxx 3 is an absolute Reference Class loudspeaker in the category of Avalon Isis, with comparable qualities. The Wilson Audio Maxx 3 is a phenomenal loudspeaker on all fronts, whether you're talking about the technical specifications, the design or the sound. The same 11" and 13" Focal woofers used in the Wilson Maxx 2 are also used in the Wilson Maxx 3. However, the enclosure is now made from a special material that Wilson itself calls: 'X-Material'. This material is phenol-based and exceptionally dense, inert, and free of resonance. The Wilson Maxx 3 enclosure is open and has multiple optimally tuned ports on the back, both for the low bass section and the mid-bass section. Wilson has paid considerable attention to the midrange drivers to make them sound perfect and to achieve the greatest possible bandwidth to reproduce voices and instruments as realistically as possible. The midrange units of the Wilson Maxx 3 can also start and stop at an exceptionally high speed, which noticeably improves dynamics and results in clear, clean reproduction with great dynamics and refinement of all voices and instruments imaginable. Another improvement compared to the Wilson Maxx 2 is that the enclosure now consists of 3 sections, with 1 section containing the bass section at the bottom, above that a cabinet with 1 midrange driver and the tweeter, and above that another cabinet with 1 single midrange driver. These mid and high-frequency sections are adjustable in height and angle so that you can optimize the Wilson Maxx 3 sound in virtually any room. The reproduction is completely phase-correct. The Wilson Maxx 3 loudspeakers are considerably easier to drive than the Wilson Maxx 2, due to a minimum impedance that is 1 Ohm higher than its predecessor. Despite the size of the Wilson Maxx 3, you can work with many amplifiers, but of course an extremely high quality is very important.
Sound : When listening to the Wilson Maxx 3, you immediately notice from the first second that this is a reference-class loudspeaker, not only in terms of bass, which is of course presented very powerfully by these robust speakers. But especially the midrange and treble sound immediately very realistic, refined, dynamic, fast, open and musical. You feel immediately involved with the music and stopping to listen is not an option. Even though the Wilson Maxx 3 sounds very powerful, grand and impressive, it is still a highly musical loudspeaker that was not made for a short-term thrill and spectacle, but for a lifetime of musical pleasure regardless of what music you listen to. The Wilson Maxx 3 naturally sounds fantastic with modern electronic music where a lot happens and a huge soundstage is created. But you get the same pleasure from classical, or jazz, modern or old recordings, it doesn't matter at all. The Wilson Maxx 3 reproduces everything exactly as the studio intended, and that is what ultimately matters. The Wilson Maxx 3 clearly sounds different and especially better and easier than its predecessors.
Conclusion : A set of Wilson Maxx 3 rarely comes on the secondhand market. This set of Wilson Audio Maxx 3 was supplied by the Dutch distributor and is in like-new condition. This set of Wilson Maxx 3 also comes completely with the original packaging, accessories and the Wilson Jack to remove the wheels and screw in the spikes, even with just 1 person. The Wilson Audio Maxx 3 guarantees a lifetime of musical enjoyment in your home.

Technical Details : The Wilson Audio Maxx 3 is a phenomenal loudspeaker on all fronts, whether you're talking about it's technical details, it's design or the fabulous sound. The Maxx 3 uses the same 11" and 13" Focal woofers which are also used in the Maxx 2. But they've changed the material of the enclosure to a special material by Wilson Audio, they call it : 'X-Material'. This material is based on phenol and it's exceptionally thick, hard, inert and completely free of resonances. The enclosure of the Wilson Audio Maxx 3 is open, and has multiple optimally tuned ports for the low bass section and the mid-bass section on the backside of the enclosure. The midrange units have been created to sound perfect, but also to have the highest bandwidth as possible for a realistic display of the voices and live instruments. The midrange units have also been made to be capable of starting and stopping unbelieveably quick, the result of this is that the Maxx 3 sounds very dynamical, clean and refined. Another big difference compared to the Maxx 2 is that the enclosure is now made of 3 parts instead of 2. 1 Part is the bass section with the bass woofers, 1 part above that contains the tweeter and 1 midrange unit, and on top of that comes another part with 1 extra midrange units. The mid-high section are both adjustable in hight and angle to adapt te Wilson Audio Maxx 3 to the room they're standing in, this makes them suitable for almost any room of a decent size. The Wilson Maxx 3 are way easier to drive in comparisment to the Maxx 2, because the Wilson Maxx 3 has a minimum impedance which is 1 Ohm higher than the minimum impedance of the Maxx 2 . This may not sound as much, but it matters a great deal, especially for speakers of this size. It's possible to drive the Wilson Maxx 3 with many amplifiers, a maximum amount of Wattage is not needed, but a great quality is very important to get the most out of these impressive loudspeakers.
Sound : When you listen to the Wilson Audio Maxx 3, you will immediately hear that you're listening to a reference loudspeaker. Just like stepping into a Rolls Royce for the first time. The bass is extremly powerful, but it's still very tight and neat and doesn't overshadow the mid and high notes, but instead it plays harmoniously together to create a musical, realistic sound. The mid- and high notes are fast, tunefull and refined. Everything sounds very crisp and pure. You immediately feel involved with the music, and it's very addictive. The Wilson Audio Maxx 3 sounds very big, powerful and impressive, but that doesn't deny the fact that the Maxx 3 is not made for a short kick and only spectacle, but for a lifetime of musical pleasure. The Wilson Audio is capable of presenting almost any music genre perfectly. If you play some firm, electronical music piece by Yello and turn up the volume you get a big, powerful soundstage which always stays very tuned and clean. But if you play a soft classical piano composition or some easy listening jazz at a low volume, you will still hear every detail, and the stage is still visible. The Wilson Audio Maxx 3 presents the music how the studio/recorder meant for it to sound, and that is, after allm what it's all about. The Wilson Audio Maxx 3 clearly sounds way better than it's predecessors in every way imaginable.
Conclusion :A set of Wilson Audio Maxx 3 is very rare on the secondhand market. This set of Maxx 3 comes in the absolutely stunning Obsydian Black finish, they are in new condition and come with the original crates and accessories, like the different sets of spikes to adjust the midrange and high note parts of the enclosure, and also the Wilson Jack so you can lift the 191Kg weighing Maxx 3 all by yourself to swap the wheels for spikes and vice versa. The Wilson Audio Maxx 3 are guaranteed to bring a lifetime of musical pleasure at your home.
