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.

Does what Troy say not align with your experience?

Troy/Dave, I’ve heard Wilson many many times and I agree with most of what you say and moreover most of the time; it correlates with what I hear. I’ve not heard the T+A with DAW (have with Sabrina and wow, it was really good). But have heard D’ag Progression mono’s plus the matching preamp and they work really good with the DAWs; digital was great and vinyl even better. To my ears, the Progression was better than the ARC Ref 6 (may have heard with Ref 10 too) with 160M monos. The T+A gear is very exceptional in both sound and beauty of build.

Somebody mentioned Pass, and while good, I prefer the D’ag Progression with DAW. I’d bet the T+A would be killer too. I have much less experience with T+A, but every time I’ve heard it with Wilson, it was a match made in heaven.

While Wilson is known to use ARC at shows, and to work quite well with their tube gear, Wilson have endorsed Nagra and I believe others on YouTube and the Classic Line was very good with the Sabrina in my experience a couple years ago. Haven’t heard Nagra on the DAW though. In Utah, Wilson have the Wamm Master Chronosonic setup in their personal room with D’ag Momentum monos + preamp on the main speakers and a stereo Momentum amp on the Chronosonic Subs. That is a substantial statement on Wilson’s part since this is their Flagship speaker. Take it for what you will.

In the end, it is all about synergy. @carey1110 , I hope you have a fun journey to find the amps of your dreams to go with your fine speakers.

BTW, I’m not a dealer. But my dealer is about 5 miles from me and I have a chance most Sunday’s to hear some amazing systems. I am truly blessed in that regard. BTW, I'm in SoCal, nowhere near Dave and Troy.
