PMC versus Wilson Audio


Looking to upgrade to either PMC MB2  SE's or Wilson Audio Sasha 2's or Alexia 2's. I listen to mostly Jazz, Easy listening, Blues. Not much Classical in dedicated listening room. Room has been heavily treated with absorption and reflection. Room is 12' x 16'. Source is digital, no turntable. High current monoblock amps. 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated and would appreciate keeping the discussion on PMC versus Wilson Audio only. Thanks!

I had PMC PB1is and now have Wilson W/P 5.1.  I was mostly happy with the PMCs; just was time for a little change.

I found that these speakers are actually more similar than different.

The Wilsons have a little more acoustic space/depth, and the PMCs sounded a little more accurate top to bottom, with leaner bass. Great midrange on both.

Disclaimer - I'm using MIT Matrix cables on the Wilsons which seem like a great match. The PMCs were less cable dependent.

Thanks @keithtexas . From what I read in your post, you feel like it was more of a lateral move. Do you think the move is worth it with the difference in cost between the MB2's and Alexia 2 or even Sasha DAW?
It's a big jump pricewise .

@twochannelaudiophile - yes, I think it was generally a lateral move - but the PB1is were not top-of-the-line PMCs like the MB2s (they were more voiced for home than studio), and of course the W/P 5.1 is quite a few generations old. I have not heard the Alexia or the Sasha. I liked the PMC sound so much I seriously considered the MB level and their active speakers too as my next purchase. Just came across a great deal on some mint 5.1s and had always told myself I wanted a pair someday. But if accuracy and musician-at-the-microphone-in-the-room realism is your cup of tea, the PMC and ATC dome midranges can be shockingly good. Of course, some people "can't handle [so much of] the truth".  'Live' sound can be a little unsettling. And potentially fatiguing I suppose, although not in the "something's out of place" kind of way.  To each his own. System matching and sonic priorities differ.
