Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming.

No I bought the Sasha because I found them very musical and engaging and a bit smoother/forgiving overall. The Sophia 2's are great speakers but the Sasha elevates the bar especially in the bass. I like the slightly warmer tonal balance as well. Like I said, unless the MXR imparted such a deep sonic signature on the Sasha, that the new sound is really not the speaker but the amps.

I did find the Sasha to be extremely enjoyable with a variety of music I threw at it. In the end that's what matters, if the speaker/system connects with you and evokes a positive emotional response, then that is a great system/speaker for you. I found the Sasha did just that.

Flyski referred to several points of comparison and explained why he made the purchase based on the audition and comparison--including listing components for context. His reference to "darker on top" seemed reasonable given comments others have made regarding older Wilson designs sounding prominent or bright through the treble. You seem to go out of your way to misrepresent what he actually wrote. This forum should have more first hand reports of that quality and less flippant condescension.

I can bet that sasha will not play as loud as WP or that prominant clear or imediatly. there is nothing for free. when we will see measurements of Sasha it will be lower sensitivity speakers because with warmer tuned tone- much more energy in 150-400hz comparing to all spectrum.

Samuel, I have owned several Wilson speakers amongst many other types by various manufacturers. The "Dark on top" comment was not explained fully and would be of great concern to most audiophiles...unless your an Ostrich!

Dave_b, you are twisting my words out of context. I said "slightly darker up top". Again, I am not familiar enough with the MXR amps as this was the first time I heard them to really know if that is the sonic character of the MXR or the Sasha. Trust me, the Sasha will not disappoint in any performance parameter in a room of appropriate size for them with appropriate amplification.

I've heard many Wilson speakers before and this combination was just as dynamically impressive as Wilson W/Ps usually are but it was also very enjoyable, engaging and musical with a variety of music thrown at it.

I've heard the Alexandria X2's in that same room and the Sasha/Ayre combo while not being able to reproduce quite the same scale and overall visceral impact as the Alexandria X2/Krell Evo 900 combo, had a more engaging personality that drew me into music much deeper.
