Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap


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

Thanks for all the recommendations, the reason I ask the question was to know what everyone has tried.

I currently have a ME850 amp which I used to use with my ATC SCM40’s.
With the Sasha’s they seem to not require much volume pot to get to reference levels telling me they are more efficient than the STC’s but I also want to ensure their output profile is sufficient for the Sasha’s.

Check the link for the specs and advise what you think.

Thanks George, I need to get it serviced at some stage and might look at the bias adjustment then.
I have heard the same too, so a decent tube amp can keep the bass right and get the low freq?
An ME850 will drive your Sashas, but IME there
are Amplifiers that will sound much better.

I tried the Pass Labs Aleph yesterday and found the ME to sound better with more controlled bass.

The ME sounds phenomenal but what I want to know which resonanably prices amps can sound better.
Thanks for trying to assist me.
Budget is $10K for new but will look for something in the 5K mark if buying secondhand.
Prefer something old and grunty.

I do not have  a Wilson dealer as Iam in Melbourne, Australia.
So no demo can be arranged.

The preamp that I use is ME14, see specs.

I got the Krell KSA 200S,
I use a ME -15 preamp and it’s output impedance is 2 ohms will it work what the Krell?
I believe my bass is getting rolled-off.
Not sure why.

The mids and treble sound amazing  and the mid bass frequency has tightened up but the lows are what is the problem.
