Jazzbass what kind of power are we talking about with the CAT amps. Are you getting ample bass. Good depth etc. I always thought you’d have Solid-State for the Wilsons.
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.

I have the JL5's which are rated at 120W. They are in a room about 18 x 22 with 11foot ceiling. Bass is fine for my purposes as I don't look for subterranean levels as in some organ music. A Fender bass sounds like a Fender bass. Another example i can give is the sound of a snare drum. With the DAW's you hear the "body" of the snare after the initial attack. While not as lightning fast compared to the horn speaker/CAT amp combo I had, that did not have the essence of the whole instrument. As far as solid state, my dealer was running the DAW's with D'Agostino amps. While I liked the combo, I can't make a firm comparison with him running a digital source whereas i use mostly vinyl and tape. He's more than happy to lend me a D'agostino amp. |
Best to contact them for dealer info: Convergent Audio Technology 85 High Tech Drive Suite D Rush, NY 14543 TEL: (585) 359-2700 [email protected] As for me, I auditioned CAT at different audio shows. I heard them with Magico S5II and Vivid Giya 2. Yes, i took a leap of faith with amps i couldn't audition in my system. Incidentally at this last AXPONA, nice sounds were coming from tube amps powering Wilson speakers. ARC Ref160's on DAW's and Alexia II's driven by Rogers High Fidelity amps. |
