Wilson Sasha or W/P match with Pass Labs

I'd like to get some opinions on how well the Wilson Sasha will go with Pass XP preamp + XA / X.5 power amps. My concern is whether the resulting sound will be too warm or dark. How about older Watt / Puppies like the System 8?
Thanks

I heard the Sasha when it first came out with Pass XA100.5s/XP20 pre I believe and it was wonderful..but Im a fan of both products so maybe bias.IMO Pass and those speakers are a great match sonically,dont know about the W/P 8s.

I run an XP-30, XA-100.5's and W/P 8's. Not dark at all. Think neutral.

XA-100 or XA-160 if you can afford them

X-250.5 is still an awesome combo with them.

Rockitman your system looks crazy (awesome)...

Any comments on how the Sasha and the W/P8 sound differently in this context?

I auditioned the Sasha multiple times driven by various gears and I couldn't find any weakness at all, except its price. If I ever can afford to upgrade from my B&W 801N, Sasha would be next.
