Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap


What have you been driving your Sasha with and getting that low controlled huge bass.

Depending on what you consider cheap. I suggest Vincent SP-998 Mono Blocks. Just fantastic driving my Revel Ultima Studios. Much better sounding than Krell's and ME driving the Revels. Would expect similar driving Sasha's.
Agree with atmasphere. Have heard Sasha's with ARC Tube Amps and they sounded very nice indeed.
@kunilraiker     An ME850  will drive your Sashas, but IME there are Amplifiers that will sound much better.     
@kalali    Yes the big Vincent Mono Blocks ARE awesome. Like your experience they have equaled or bettered some much more expensive/ highly regarded Amps. For the money they are outstanding.

Would love to audition the DartZeel's mentioned and some high end Pass Labs, but big $$$.

It's difficult to answer when you still havn't given us an approximate amount of what you consider "cheap". Your "cheap" maybe completely different to another's "cheap." What Pre-Amp are you using? This could be a limiting factor. If your Pre-Amp is not up to it, it may be pointless getting new Power Amps. Where do you reside? You have been given some good suggestions so is there a dealer/retailer nearby you can borrow some of the suggested equipment? Or is there a Wilson dealer you can audition some Amps with the Sasha's?


@kunalraiker   The Sasha's are deserving of a much,much better Pre. than an ME! That is a hugely limiting factor. Get a much better Pre. before you can leap forward in sound quality.

Cheers.
