Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?

Hahahahahahaha......guys audio Always will be a personal matter. If we would have all the same taste, the need for different speakers would not be there.

And no english is not my first language. When you have the freedom to hear so many different stuff you can compare a lot more than any customer ever could do.

Audio is a very addictive hobby, Always looking for better....

Mine blew up!!

Ebm,

You played them too LOUD!!

Good Listening

AFAIK Sasha 2 has just been only recently released?

I heard the new Sasha 2 at a high end mfrs' open house exactly a week before you posted this. The new Sasha 2's were powered by a top line stack of Audio Research tube components. I've heard all the Wilson floorstanders, and multiple versions of some. I've heard the Alexandria X-2 and the XLF, the current Maxx, the Alexia (last year's featured Wilson at this open house), various Watt/Puppies, Sasha W/P, Sophia 2 and 3, and now the Sasha 2.

I consider the Sasha 2 to be a significant upgrade (at least) over any previous Watt/Puppy or the first Sasha. I came away feeling much as I had after hearing the $20K more expensive Alexia. Maybe in a side-by-side comparison, the differences might be more obvious, but my emotional response to the music coming from the Sasha 2 was very much like what I'd felt a year earlier with the Alexia, which in turn was knocking on Maxx's door.

If you're looking for speakers in the $25-30K range, I highly recommend hearing the Sasha 2s. Also, I have to wonder how many of the Wilson critics and detractors have heard the latest Wilsons driven by tube electronics by ARC or VTL through Transparent Cable? The store that hosts this open house really knows how to set up Wilsons. Plus, Peter McGrath was there as well. They were sourcing the music from LPs on the AMG 12 turntable.

Regarding the Zellaton comment above, I bought them over the Sasha as the Zellaton speakers have the beauty but the balls as well. The mid-bass hump and tonal problems of Wilson speakers still persist to this day. I listen mostly to rock and the Sasha's were so bloated and uncontrolled that I felt embarrassed for the salesperson. Zellaton has natural bass, the kind you hear in live performances and the timing is correct. I also question a speaker that requires so much to sound good in re setup, recordings, equipment etc…., along with a new model so often...
