Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?


I went to audition the Wilson Sabrina at a local shop. I so wanted to love these speakers because of the reviews, price and compact size. Unfortunately, I could not (don't hate me  Sabrina owners). I did, however,  fall in love with the Sasha 2. It seemed to do everything and more that I was looking for and I am hoping this speaker will be a speaker I can live with for a very long time. After thinking about it, I wondered, is the difference between the Sabrina and Sasha 2 smaller or greater than the Sasha 2 and current Alexia? The room has  good acoustics, Mcintosh C50 pre, MC152 amp and as noted above, is very small. Would there be too much bass and overwhelm the room. I have not heard the Alexias and was wondering if any owners or listeners familiar to both can comment on the differences and similarities and give impressions as to how they might work in my small room. I currently own and like very much the  Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 but am looking for more. At this point, I am pretty sure I will go with the Sashas  but am looking for guidance from someone with experience especially since it is very hard to locate the Alexias and hear personally.  Thanks for your opinions

I went to the 4 best dealers within a 50 mile radius and heard about 15+ speakers. I could have heard more, but as I said in an earlier post, I knew my work was done when I heard the Sasha 2s.  Doubt was left since I have not heard the Alexias and was told they were similar to the Sashas but more. Everybody hears and appreciates sounds differently explaining why some prefer a certain style of speaker,
Honestly, audiotroy you  would be more persuasive if you were not so shameless. Give it a rest since you are accomplishing the opposite of your intentions. Trying to talk someone into liking something that you like (and may benefit financially from)  is pointless when most are capable of making up their own mind. The above being said, if I get the chance to audition the Persona, I will take it as mild curiosity.

Sorry to sound to you as  shameless. If I was a reader of these posts I would find many of these comments helpful and for your edification, we have talked to other people who have found much of what I have said to be helpful and insightful.

The main reason for posting about the Personas had nothing to do with trolling a Wilson post, it was due to you looking at an Alexia and offering you another option for a speaker that would work well.

Please feel free to give us a call if you are in our area and do want to check out the Personas, I think you would have had a great time visiting our shop.

I was just curious as to your shopping experiences and how you went about it and what speakers were on your list? The Sashas are very good speakers, I agree with you about preferring them over the B&W, which I find the Diamond tweeters to be a bit much, Golden Ear aren't in this league.

As per the Alexias, they are too big for your room and yes they do sound similar. Again, good luck with your Sashas.

gerryah930 read your post - having Wilson's with Pass Amp and ARC preamp with VPI.. I say get back into vinyl ....just an opinion and recommendation....
I think there have been a few posts on this thread that are, perhaps a bit disrespectful to the OP's question. It was clear, at least to me, that his choice was made for Wilsons, but just wanted HELPFULL advice on the Sashas, or Sabrinas, being right for his room size. His decision was made, just wanted to know what model may suit his room . It seemed like a pretty simple question. He did not ask for advice on choosing a lineup of different manufacturers that offered models in his price range. Why not just give him advise on what he was actually asking, instead of side tracking the thread to what your choices in manufacturers would be, for him to compare to. Damn it, he knew what he wanted. Respect that!!
Many people just want to help, mean well and are so passionate about their gear that they think "Let me enlighten" and can't believe anyone would want anything else. Thanks for all your help.
