System synergy, as so often pointed out in these forums, is key--in addition to the particular sonic proclivities and preferences of the listener. I have Sashas driven by MF NuVista 800 with Transparent cabling. The sound is beautiful--I literally listen daily for many hours on end without fatigue. Definitely no high end "stridency" etc. the highs sound natural and beautiful. I just wish I had the time to listen even more! They sound real. I've listened to Wilsons (I have owned Sophias and Sashas; heard Alexandrias, Maxx, Alexia), B&W (owned 804s and had extensive in home audition of 802s), Maggies, Harbeths, Dalis, Sonus Fabers, Linns, Vienna Acoustics. There are things I liked about most all of those. But the Wilsons were, to my ears, the best and most real sounding. But I've always heard them being fed with a lot of power. |
If anyone says Wilsons have harsh highs, they need to look seriously at their amps preamps or source for the problem. As Wilson highs are about the only one of a couple dynamic driver top ends that I can listen to and still like compared to my ESL’s, or when I can leave my windows open to get rid of the ozone gas, my Plasma tweeters. http://www.hifido.co.jp/KW/G0206/E/0-50/C11-62930-26992-00/ Cheers George |
