Wilson Audio Yvette vs Sasha 2

Jo1mtb,

how did you feel about Sasha 1 coming from Sophia 2?

I currently own Sophia 2 and I’m considering Sophia 3, Yvette, or Sasha 1. My biggest question is how does Sasha 1 compared to the newer Yvette? But also, how do either of those speakers present an upgrade over Sophia 2.

Thanks!

Mark

I’ve had Sophia 2, 3, Sasha 1, Alexia 1, Sabrina 1. 
They were all Alamein’s speakers. 
I would order them: Alexia 1, Sabrina 1, Sasha 1, Sophia 3, Sophia 2

In my room, with my ARC gear, Sasha was better than Sophia 3, but marginally.  I did not feel it justified the extra cost.  They were both notably better than Sophia 2. The tweeter in Sophia 2 always had a bit of grain and dryness. 
The silk domed Alexia and Sabrina were another level.  They are different speakers, obviously, but Sabrina was closer to Alexia in sound across the spectrum. 
If you don’t have a huge room, Sabrina is the no brainer. 
I would think Yvette would be even better, but I’ve. It heard it 

So, from all I’ve had, I would buy Sabrina (again) or swing for Yvette. 
hope that helps. 

Alameins = amazing.  Thanks autocorrect 

The Sabrina is very nice, but the Yvette is so Sasha-like and in a different league. When we pivoted 90 degrees in the showroom to move from the Sabrina the smiles all around were like winning the lottery with the Yvettes. They were so close to my Sasha's it was spooky. Other than the deeper bass with the second woofer of the Sasha, the Yvette is fantastic. If it were not for my ego, I'd "settle" for Yvettes going forward and save some coin.

Worth a listen if you can. Hi Fi Buys in Nashville has these in their showroom.

If I had a non-serious listening area in the house and could swing it, my wife would approve of the Sabrinas for casual listening. Seal of approval for either but she fully supports pursuit of the DAW. Yeah, me!

If I were in the market, based on my experience and the trajectory of W/A, I would blind buy the Yvettes.  No need to audition for me. If room size was right, I would go for them.
