One person's budget gear could be someone else's holy grail gear so some specificity would be helpful. That said, I think a pair of Mark Levinson No. 536 monos should be on the short list. Not sure those larger Vincent monos are available stateside but they should be awesome. I have one of their stereo hybrid amps (150wpc/300wpc) and I really love it. Have put it up against several more expensive (and more powerful) amps in my system and it held its own and in some cases even better. Very underrated brand here in US.
Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap
What have you been driving your Sasha with and getting that low controlled huge bass.

Thanks for all the recommendations, the reason I ask the question was to know what everyone has tried. I currently have a ME850 amp which I used to use with my ATC SCM40’s. With the Sasha’s they seem to not require much volume pot to get to reference levels telling me they are more efficient than the STC’s but I also want to ensure their output profile is sufficient for the Sasha’s. Check the link for the specs and advise what you think. http://www.me-au.com/me850data2.jpg |
I currently have a ME850 amp I own 2 of these amps active bi-amped, and I can say one will drive the Sasha’s without even yawning. If you need to sweeten it a little get a tech to bias it up a little more from 8w Class-A to around 12-15w, fan are speed controlled according to heatsink temperature, but this is still dead quiet unless you put your ear up to the intake vents. http://www.me-au.com/me850data1.jpg Cheers George |
