Wilson Sasha, SF Amati Anniversario, Thiel CS3.7


Hi everyone,
This coming Tuesday, I'll be auditioning the Sasha, Amati Anniversario and the Thiel CS3.7. How do these 3 products differ in their sonic character? Any thing I should be on the look out for? My musical taste is quite varied although I listen a lot to jazz and full orchestral pieces. Thanks guys.

Wilson uses high order crossovers that require putting the mid range driver out of phase with respect to the tweeter and woofer in order to compensate for the ridiculous phase angle created near the crossover point. This destroys harmonic content of timbre, by design. Why anyone would accept this is beyond me. It must be the paint jobs.

Thiel has always used 1st order crossovers which cause the least phase angle distortion and hence preserve the most harmonic content of timbre. For some of us that matters.

Wanna preserve the harmonic content of timbre? Then it's a no brainer.
