DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I Think the cool factor is a little higher with the Alexia! Got to be some major pride of ownership with those!Hope your Sophia’s find a good home! 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I would go with the Alexia or Sasha 2 and save the 10k!Either of these I think would be a nice upgrade from your Sophia’s.I own Watt Puppy’s and would choose one of those for an upgrade for myself also.Both are great choices!Good luck and have fun!

Looking for a piece to complement my Parasound Halo A21
I have a Halo a21 for mains.I use a Emotiva Xpa 5 for center and rears,with a Marantz 7703 processor.The system sounds complete and enjoyable,and I didn’t go broke building it!The Emo has plenty of power and never got hot or broke a sweat.

What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0(
A local,well respected audio dealer told me a few years ago,that he had to switch his focus to home theater to survive.While he does still sell some high end 2 channel gear,home theater equipment pays the bills for him.Super guy and very knowledge...

Jafant,i finally tried my subwoofer with left and right output instead of sub output.The results are amazing!Subwoofer blends so well with 3.7s,it’s like they are made for each other!Tightest bass I’ve owned to date!Could not be happier!Well,maybe?

dhoff01I hope our 3.7 Les Pauls are worth more than 6 k!😃 
Thiel Owners
Jafant,Hope your well and your system also!Im using 1.6 as rear sounds.My theater has never sounded better since adding them.The cabinets fit and finish are top notch!Classic Thiel design!I plan to hold on to them.
