BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA

Bo,
I share your viewpoint in regard to difficult to drive and fussy speaker attributes. Horses for courses as they say. 
C,

There is a need to change audio as soon as possible.

The audio market is getting smaller and the knowledge is getting poorer every year. The word highend is used by brands like Denon who call their surround amps of 500 dollar highend.

Highend is based on nothing. There are no rules about it. It is based on air......not based on facts.

I spoke with different people about the Highend Show in Munic this year. People were only talking about the poor demos. We are only talking about how bad it is and who was the worst.

Last year over 90% were 2 dimensional at the highend show in Munic. When I asked people who gave the poor demos what music are you using ( horrible and aweful music) they didn’t know.

Stage depth is one of the most important parts what make highend different from hi-fi. But most sets are playing in 2 dimensional sound.

2D sound I call standard audio, because a simple amp of 100 dollar will almost playe the stage the same way.

Most people who buy a system like the people in audio don’t know the F. about audio and music.

People need to know a reference frame were you can judge the quality for.....

I've heard the Sasha powered by McIntosh MC452 (450/ch) and it sounded superb.

Wilson has a large market share so probably doing something right.  

knghifi,
I submit there are many reasons besides sound that a company can have a large market share in highend audio...marketing and wide distribution are two reasons that I think contribute to a company having a larger market share
