DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$

I Think the cool factor is a little higher with the Alexia! Got to be some major pride of ownership with those!Hope your Sophia’s find a good home!

In a limited dealer demo of the DAW, I would choose it over the Alexia and Sasha2. It is far more coherent with tighter bass and easier to drive. It is the first Wilson I have liked in a long time.

I agree if money were no object, but at nearly 10k less for a CPO trade in scenario, the Alexia 1 looks really good, to save even a few more buck and move up to the DAW (or whatever is next) in a couple years. I think either the Sasha 2 or Alexia 1 will be handstands better than my current Sophias.

I'd get the Sasha 2 over the original Alexia - a boomy, incoherent mess to me (and its funny most Alexa 2 reviews now admit it).

I owned Sophia 1s on BAT gear for several years - the only non-fatiguing Wilson at the time :)

I upgraded from the Sophia 1 to the Sasha 2 (passed on the Alexia 1); this was an appreciable across-the-board sonic improvement + easier to drive, while maintaining a similar footprint / height, at a reasonable cost - no diminishing returns here, it's worth the upgrade. The Tweeter & Midrange Resistor options + Head adjustments made a big difference in fine tuning the Sasha 2 to my listening room, vs. the Sophia 1.

In my experience, prior to the Alexia 2, the Sasha 2 seemed to be the preferred model over the Alexia 1, for a mid-size room.

If cost is a factor, then the cost difference between a well-discounted pair of Sasha 2, vs the near-retail cost of the new Sasha DAW may be greater than the evolutionary (not revolutionary) sonic improvements merit . . . . .
