Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?


Sorry for the question, but I have been hearing good reviews about wilson audio sasha w/p. I am actually convinced to try a new set but hope I can get the negative side so I can come out with a decision that I will not regret in the future.

just cannot understand why this brand is so popular, imo the sound is absolutely not natural. bass and trebble are pronounced to much and the midrange sounds hollow. this was my experience with the sophia, alexis and sasha. listening for a longer was impossible for me. the recording must be reproduced how it was recorded but not by the taste of "wilson people".
the continue proces of launching new models and their webshop makes it all clear; it is all about marketing and selling.( like 80% of the brands)
Every single brand have their own properties. They choose for it because they think this is the best way to create the most realistic sound.I have my doubts as well. But I think Wilson is a very smart person, also from a commercial point of view. People have the freedom to choose.

The question is do people know and understand how to choose?
Maybe but choosing is often about fooling I am affraid. Look for instance at the prices and looks of cables. In this market people are constantly busy with upgrading which contributes mostly nothing to the enjoyment of listening to music. Wilson speakers sound spectacular in the beginning with a lot of detail ( by lifting the treble) and deep bass ( more then real) and I call this a very colored, unpleasent sound which makes uou tired at the end and seeking for a new wilson speaker.
From 2005-2007 I did visit many people with sets from 8000 dollar till 180000 dollar. I had about 6 times people with Wilson speakers.

A speaker always will be a personal matter. It depends what you prefer. They all had one thing in common. They had acoustic problems with their Wilson loudspeakers.

This is a property as well. This is more difficult to solve. In a normal house situation Wilson are not easy speakers to get a good sound and balance.

Only 2 times in my life I heard a good balanced demo with Wilson loudspeakers. They are not easy.

People who choose Wilson get these difficulties as an extra. You have to deal with it. This cost you time and also more money to get it right.

I don't say it is not possible to get it right. It will cost you more time and money.
I am convinced that most of the problems people hear w/Sashas (or other Wilson speakers) is the setup. Proper positioning, fed by good sources, with reasonable electronics fed by clean power (most critical in my opinion) tightens up the 'bloated bass', and tames the 'sibilant highs'. The 'problem' is that people don't spend the time it takes to set up what is a very transparent transducer. My 2 cents worth.
