BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA

Often you see that people want to keep their speakers and they always will be protected why they want to keep them.

A client of mine owned the Wilson Audio Sasha, the first time I audtined his set I was amazed by the poor endresult of the set.

Even when he used a d’agostino momentum stereo it was still very poor.

The drivers have a slow response and the speaker is difficult to drive. Beside this the realism in sound of classical music is a lot different than it sounds in real. Even with tubes the speaker still has his own sound.

We live in 2016 and Wilson Audio still uses dome tweeters which own a reach far below 30khz.

The difficulties is has with some recordings is insane. Come on speakers in this price range with harsness in the high freq. is not done.

Even a simple recording of Jacintha the set was not able ( even with the Momentum) to create a physical double bass with all the layers you want and need.

Even with the Wadia 381i and MIT Oracle cables it still sounded poor.

A new client of mine owns the Sasha 2 with Pass Labs XA100.8 and he is not happy with his set either. Here I also will sell the Sasha.

If I were you I would sell the Sasha without doubts.

Hi Bo,
The OP wrote "I love Sasha" so clearly he's quite happy with these speakers.  I appreciate that you aren't enamored with them but that's besides the point in this case. He just wants a good amplifier match for them. 
Charles, 

I understand, but the problem is still that it is a difficult speaker.

This is based on the fact that it is difficult to drive, but also difficult to be placed in most rooms.

You have to ask yourself the question: Why you would choose for a speaker with these difficulties. In about 18 years of time I visited several people with Wilson Audio speakers, Often they had difficulties with the acoustics and drive difficulties.

You need to understand that these limitations makes it a lot more difficult to create a stunning level out of the speakers.

At the end the result of the overall sound is what counts most. Many people get a low % out of speakers they own in sound quality.

I seldom audition a set were a person gets a good level in overall sound of the loudspeakers. Many people are not able to create a good balance out of their loudspeakers.

Charles,
I understand what you're saying about the OP loving his Sasha's. However based on my experience with Wilson Audio Sophia 2's, 3's, and Sasha's I sent the OP a PM suggesting that he should consider other speakers. It's just my experience, but I convinced myself that I loved my Sasha's when I had them also. In hindsight I realized I didn't love them and after I sold them I started to listen to music more often and for longer periods. I know the OP and I may have different sonic priorities, but listening to other speakers may help. 

Hi ricred1,
I do understand the point you and Bo are making,  it can be said truthfully that Wilsons aren't suited for everyone  (no speaker is). I'm just accepting that the OP has sorted this out and has determined however the Sasha is the best speaker choice for him. All of this is a pure demonstration of the nature of subjectivity. You became dissatisfied with the Sasha but the OP loves them.
