We all hear differently and have our own preferences. As it should be. Some seem put off by a speaker you have never heard; maybe resenting its unafordability. There are many successfully speaker brands giving everyone choices. The magazines may be influenced by their readers who have made Wilson the leader in high end speaker sales. I'm a Wilson guy having worked my way up through the B&Ws to the 800 Nautilus. Current B&Ws are now better. Then the Wilson WP7s charmed me. Since then, three more pair from Wilson.
That said, my long time and highly successful Wilson dealer has had some custom Sasha Vs on order for some time. He is a trained expert in speaker setup so great ears. They sell many high end brands, dCS, D'AG, etc. He has just cancelled that Sasha order for himself in favor of a pair of the new Watt/Puppy. Very similar sound for way less money and a smaller footprint as well.
Your ears, your money comes to mind.
Enjoy the music.
