Hi facten, Yes, I have written to wilson, but they have a neutral position does not give an opinion, the problem is that I live in Argentina and offers are limited, pass labs, cary 211fe or dartzeel 8550, someone dartzeel use with sasha?

Orion, I drive my Sashas with Musical Fidelity NuVista 800 integrated. Plenty of power and current. Bombproof build. I love the combo and highly recommend you try to audition the amp. It is outstanding in my opinion.

When I had my Sasha’s I called Wilson Audio and they wouldn’t recommend any components. Some manufacturer’s do, but many won’t. I’m curious, I understand your cd5s has a built in preamplifier, but have you tried or thought of trying a preamp?

The Sashas work with many more amplifiers than their measurements would suggest. Read Art Dudley's review in Stereophile available on the Stereophile website. Of those available to you, Pass Labs has a number of amplifiers that will excel with the Sashas.

Yes, I referenced Art Dudley's review in an earlier post. Very interesting insights.
