Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I

I've owned several Wilson speakers: Sophia 2s, 3s, and Sasha 1s. Maybe it was my room or the "system", but Wilson's are fatiguing to "my ears" over the long haul. As already mentioned they are very, very good with dynamics! I've had Aerial, Revel, and now Monitor Audio speakers since the Sasha 1s and would never go back to Wilsons. Of course that's just my preference and you must decide with your own ears.

@ricred1, did you mean to say, wouldn't go back again and again and again.

tooblue,
Now let me tell you the rest of the story. The Sophia 2s I had developed a small crack a couple months after I purchased them. The Sophia 3s were just coming out and Wilson decided to give me 100% for my Sophia 2s towards Sophia 3s. That was a no brainer to me. It only cost me a couple thousand dollars to get the Sophia 3s! After a couple months I decided to try the Sasha Is. I started to notice I would feel drained every time I listened to music. To be honest, during that time I wanted to be part of the Wilson club. I didn't use "my own ears" to decided my preferences. After a while with the Sasha Is, I decided to sell everything and start over. So your comments aren't a true indication of my experience with Wilson's and why I purchased them.

@ricred1 , As you might guess I own a set of the Sophia 1s, have had them for 8 years and really love them but do understand that they aren't everybody's cup of tea, with that said I have heard the Sasha 1s in a couple of set up and really liked what I heard. Also find it telling that after visiting the Wilson sound 3 times that you found it necessary to sell everything and start over.

When you're buying stuff to fit in, or be part of a club,  as opposed to listening to components with you own ears, it's easy to understand why I started over. I purchased every Wilson speaker without listening to them on the advice of a friend that was a dealer. You would be shocked at what I paid. I made money when I sold my Sasha Is. So, all in all I didn't loose any money,  but more importantly I started to grow in this hobby. I started to trust my own ears. The great news is it's okay if you love them. I love my Monitor Audio PL 500's! There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences!
