I Never heard alexandria in ideal setup but overaly i think alexandria is very dynamic but those setups never convinced me alexandria is fast in transients.I have no idea which amplifier could make alex happy.Alexandria magic was it’s midrange and lower midrange to my ears. Very beautiful sound.  If i say fast i do not mean zippy sound , i mean a transparent immediate sound. www.amiraudio.com, www.hifi.ir
