Definitely looks like an all-day job to put them together, and that doesn't even include setting them up in the room!

Yes, that's a lot of parts (and a lot of crates to hold on to.)

Took me a while to dial the Alexia in my room back in the day, I can only imagine the XVX with all the adjustments. Not that I will ever have to worry about setting up an XVX.

That's too many dead presidents to listen to dead composers...

Guys XVX actually come out of the crates and go together much more smoothly than any big Wilson that has preceded them.

As for the dialing in, driver alignment is simply math. Positioning the entire speaker in the room is what is most time consuming.

I would not mind the "chore" of setting up a pair in my own room but a pair of Sabrina X will do just fine!

Much more than "just fine" and very much cut from the same cloth.

I'll give the Sabrina X a listen, hopefully sometime soon. It's been some years since my last Wilson pair and I am starting to get the itch for the Wilson sound again.
