Wilson Audio Sasha I or 2 ?

I am now listening to Wilson Audio Sophia 3 with Audio Research Ref 6 preamp and Pass Labs X-350.8 amp.  I love WA speaker’s sound and I'm considering an upgrade of my Sophia 3 to either Sasha 1 or Sasha 2. For sure, if I choose a used Sasha 1, I can pay much less than Sasha 2 (both used and new). Someone said Sasha 1 sound very close to Sasha 2. Unfortunately, I have no chance to compare all these speakers side by side. Looking for advice on (1) How far of sound quality compare with Sasha I & 2? (2) What are the main difference of sound quality between Sophia 3 & Sasha (1 & 2)? Thanks.

@mmbl622 Hello there...what did you decide on?  I have Sophia 1 with ARC REF gear and am getting the itch to upgrade.  I heard some Sasha 1 at a friends house and was very impressed.  He has modest SS gear, don't recall brands.  I really wanted Alexia 1 but ARC said that's a bad idea as all that's written about their load is correct and my REF75SE will not be happy.

i am thinking on buying again wilson; i had sabrinas, but was not able to make them really sing in my room, especially in the bass area - 14x18x9 feet; now i have better suited amp (diablo 120)

do you think sasha 1 will be ok for my room? or should i look for sophia 3 or yvette?

now i have revel F228be, and they sing ok, but i liked a little bit more the vocals/midrange of sabrinas

I think the Sasha will be fine if your room and the wilson I would chose for that size. It will have much better and stronger bass extention than the 228be (which I have owned).
