If Wilson Audio fans want cinema-like immersion, it would be easy enough to stick five or seven Wilson Chronosonic XVX speakers around the room for surround. But how would you position the middle one for the centre channel without hiding the screen?
Thankfully Wilson customers can relax, as the US company has updated its dedicated home cinema offerings with the release of two centre-channel speaker designs, along with a subwoofer and an upgrade of the Alida multichannel on-wall speaker (above), together making the whole Wilson home cinema offering just a tad neater, if no less unusual.
Pictured right and top left is the remarkablealongside a 7-inch midrange (the AluminumNickel-Cobalt QuadraMag midrange used in the XVX, no less), and a 2.5cm tweeter which is fully adjustable for alignment in the Wilson way. Of course the whole enclosure is constructed using Wilson's usual mystery V-Material, which is solid stuff: the 79cm-wide Mezzo weighs over 90kg. You can install the Mezzo CSC directly on the ground or raise the loudspeaker height on a short purpose-built column stand.
