Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?

Stanwal,
I couldn't agree more with your comments about electronics. My Densen B-350s mono-amps were fantastic with Sophia 3s, but struggle a little with the Sasha's.

Mechans,
I think you would be surprised by how many own expensive speakers without electronics to match. I love my Densen's but know there are several amps that would get more out of the Sasha's. I've been enjoying this hobby for 20 years. I have traded my way up and purchased what I hope is my last speaker. In time I will upgrade my source and add room treatment.

I got the price from a British forum which started talking about the Alexia and went on to denounce 200,000 pound speakers. Apparently the topic had swiched to the Alexandria without making the transision clear. Everyone went on talking as if they were still talking about the Alexia and I couldn't get a price on them from the Wilson web site so I assumed that they were that expensive. $50,000 still seems high but not totally out of reason. When there are 127 speakers listing for over $100,000 out there I will believe just about any price; even the $6,950,000 solid gold ones.

To the original poster's question, my answer is yes I have heard the Sasha sound ragged, bright, and lack coherence. It was in my system when I made the mistake of stacking a dac we were trying out on top of my phono stage. Vinyl sounded the worst I have heard it in my system, and my two listening buddies also commented on how bad it sounded. It took me quite a while to figure out what had happened.
Removed the dac (and turned off all digital sources) and back to great sound.

The lesson for me is that Sashas won't mask system issues upstream. If something is amiss, you'll know.

And to Mechans' point about Wilson owners being able to afford appropriate electronics -- at least in my case, I didn't get there overnight. In fact it has taken me the entire 2.5 years I have owned my Sashas to acheive the best sound, through trial and error on associated electronics and set up. The journey has been worth it, but I am at least one example of someone who had to work his way there over time.

Looks like the trading price of Sasha has been pushed down to 15k and dropping fast?

Where do you get that figure?
