ARC 6SE/160S to Boulder 1110/1160?
Have ordered Wilson Alexia V and thinking Boulder 1110/1160 better match than my current ARC. Thoughts from Boulder owners would be appreciated.

Congrats on your Wilson Alexia V‘s :ok:

Congrats on your new Alexia V's.
You might want to wait and listen with your ARC gear before deciding on making a change. Then listen with the Boulder gear. |
Yes, wait and listen with your ARC. You have fine amplification and I know folks who are very satisfied with the pairing of your amp with AlexxV. My experience with Boulder (and I’m a fan) is that they tend to be a little clinical so speaker pairing is important. Wilson tend to be very neutral, so the combination may be too much of a good thing.

Very helpful! Many thanks.

See my signature. I heard the 160Ms with Alexia 2s prior to purchasing. They did and do
drive the Alexias very well. |
Defiantly recommend spending some time with the ARC gear before switching. Else you might not appreciate what is driving the change in sound. I went from ARC to Boulder a couple years back and it has been great for me. Was using the REF250SE and assumed I was getting all the power my speakers desired. Turned out I didn’t know what I was missing. But so much can depend on speaker, room, and musical preference.
