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.

What's the opinion from the people about this tweeter change? What do you prefer?
Thx
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.
@Egrady, your post is a perfect example of the neuroticism exhibited by audiophiles and perhaps played upon by certain manufacturers. Anyone who dabbles in this ridiculous hobby realizes that high-end equipment value plummets like a stone if you're buying new. Anyone who bought a Sasha should be as pleased with their purchase now as they were when they made it. The fact that a new model is out doesn't detract from what they already have - except in their minds maybe.

Those who must have the latest model of everything must pay the price. If they can afford it, great. If they can't, then live with it. Besides, anyone who buys the Sasha 2 should know there's a V3 around the corner anyway. On the + side - used Wilsons are a great buy if you like the sound.
