Dave must have been back to the Musikverein again. I would expect that this newfound knowledge will result in upgrades to the entire line within the year.
New Wilson Shasha W/P Series 2
Hey Wilson Shasha W/P fans, just picked up a news blip off The Audio Beat web site that a series 2 version of the Sasha will be shipping next month. Here the link:

Well, it looks like a whole bunch of obsolete and useless Wilson Sasha series 1 speakers will be listed for sale on A'gon. Let me be the first to offer $100 for a used pair of Sasha speakers (9 out of 10) condition. Seller to pay shipping.
:) Just kidding. Hope you guys get your investment back.

The Sasha 2 speakers pretty much look like the Wilson Alexia speakers, except the Sasha 2 speakers uses two 8 inch woofers, where the Wilson Alexia speakers use a 10 inch woofer and a 8 inch woofer. Also the Sasha speakers use a Focal tweeter, where the Sasha 2 speakers use a Scanspeak tweeter. Here's a pic of the Sasha 2 speakers. http://cybwiz.blogspot.com/2013/11/wilson-audio-sasha-watt-puppy-series-2.html |
the Duettes have the tweeter also, so it was "inevitable" to incorporate it into the Sasha. they should offer an upgrade path from the original speaker imho. the watt/puppy has to be the single most important product that Wilson audio hopes to show what they offer in a full range speaker for most living rooms. I like the Duettes too but they cannot be placed out from the front and side walls (as of yet- i hope they re-engineer them to be used as a mini-monitor regardless of where you put them). |
While there is no hint that I'm aware of, I suspect we'll see little effort on Wilson's part to give current Sasha owners an upgrade or preferred trade in option. Their business model may push the state of the art, but the depreciation cost to their customers is a too big a hit. Current Sasha owners have already lost half their investment. When the reviews of the Sasha 2 come out touting how much better it is, well you get the picture. 50% depreciation on a 2k item is one thing, but at Wilson prices they owe their current customers more. |
