What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers


Just received my new Wilson Sasha DAW speakers and am now beginning to sift through a long list of electronics that would bring out the best in them. If anyone owns these and could give some recommendations I love to hear them. I’m open to tube or solid state. Looking for amps and preamp. All opinions are appreciated.

Carey, the T+A gear we recommend is warm and very musical yet has outstanding resolution and dynamics.

If you research the company you will see the HV concept, this is emmulating the sound of tubes by running the rail voltages to much greater than standard rail voltage for solid state designs.

The T+A engineers stumbled upon this concept after building some reference grade tube gear. The prevailing thought to why tubes sound more organic has always been the thought that tube disortions are even order harmonic based vs transistor disortions which tend to be odd order harmonic in nature.

The T+A engineers started an experiment where they postulated that by amping up the rail voltage in a transistor design, that the transistors would be run in a more linear fashion at higher voltages and create less distortion, and therefore sound more organic and more tube like.

Tests proved that at higher rail voltages the amplifers did indeed sound better, this lead to a custom designed output stage and parts capable of being run a much higher voltages and thus the High Voltage series was born.

For less money the new Krell gear is fantastic, they use a special type of Bias circuitry and run in Class A, the new Krell gear is awesome and affordable, however, on comparision the T+A is still a notch higher.

For this reason we recommend so highly the T+A PA 3100HV which is the company’s same power amplifier and a slightly paired down version of their reference preamplifer for a bit more than half price of the separates.

please try vitus sia 025 or mcintosh ma9000.
i prefer vitus even compared to gryphon diablo 300,
vitus has a slight midrange warmth compared to
diablos, but not as much compared to mcintosh.


Dear @carey1110  : """  for a warm inviting very musical sound. Something I can play all day without ear fatigue but still very detailed. Realism. """


well, I think that a MUSIC lover as you and I imagine almost all audiophuiles are looking for our room/system reproduce with true fidelity what is in the recording.

That could means that if the recording is in the warm side that's what we listening to but if what is in the recording is not to warm that must be what we must to listen.

A good room/system does not editorialize the different recordings we are listen it.
My personal target is to stay truer to the resording that is what put me nearer to the live MUSIC that's my reference.
I know I'm not truly " there " but that's my main room/system target.

Trhough some of the posts that other gentlemans posted I read that word: " warm " for the MUSIC and some reference to tube elctronics and only you posted about : " detailed and realism " that are live MUSIC characteristics where warm is not in any sense.

Truer to the recording means to listen what the recording microphones pick up during the recording sessions where those microphones are " seated " at near field position ( 2m-3m ) not at 15m-20m + that is normally where we are seated in live events, many times even more far away from the source.

If any one of us seated at near field listen a trumpet/horn or piano or violin players playing at live SPLs no one of us can say we are listening " warm " sound, that does not exist in live MUSIC events we attend seated at nearfield position that's where the recording microphones are.
So, why many of us want to listen something that just does not came in the recording?.

Yes, it's each one of us privilege to listen any thing we want in the way we want it, this is not under questiononing in any way.

In the other side , I don't know how many of you already experienced with top room/audio systems FM Acoustics electronics or the extremely humble JC1 amplifiers because I did t several tiemes along with some of the D'Agostino designs or Vitus or ARC Boulder and the like.

It's not easy to find out second hand FM Acoustics electronics because the owners just keep it for .ever. M.Huber designs started and still follows in the big studio recordings all over the world and nothing can " touch " it as nothing can"  touch " his home systems audio items.

@carey1110  and please don't be worried for that so low price of the JC1s, its quality level performance for a ridiculous fraction of the price of those very heavy $$$$ priced electronics is true competitive.

The best way to go with your system is with separates where you don't merry with a signature preamp or signature amplifier for ever. With separates you always has the alternative to change the preamp or amp in the time you decide to do it and with separates.
In the amps subject monobloks is the way to go, as nearer the speakers as best quality performance.

Btw, money is always important but money/high price is not always a synonimous of " better ".
The dombination of money and KNOWLEDGE level ( high or low ) is what makes the success happens or not.

I gave my opinion according my personal targets and MUSIC/sound priorities. The others gentlemans not disclosed yet their priorities and certainly don't have to do it.

I'm not biased to take your money or to spend your money, I'm biased to the MUSIC.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

For me it was Luxman 590axii not the 509. 590 made me want to listen to music all day , class A goodness
