While they may be your favorite at their price, at the $20k you mentioned there are many much better speakers. Though as always comes down to system , room and personal preferences
Hey @tdimler ... Salons are the obvious choice, but they have been around such a long time, that they are definitely due for an update. I have a feeling their new line (Ultima3??) is about to launch in a year or two
my previous speaker was vivid giya g3. I sold it in hoping to purchase 2 speakers from the funds i got; a bookshelf and a floorstander. Demoed a lot but but the vivids set a very high standard in my listening room that all of said speakers i mentioned fell short one way or the other, so i end up looking for a speaker that is either a sideway move or an upgrade. Sasha 2 is the only one that can go head to toe with my previous giya g3. Compared to the list (except vivid g3), sasha 2 is bigger sounding, more air and seperation between instrument, blacker background, better micro and macro dynamics, better timbre colors (except for proacs) and last but not the least bigger, wider and deeper soundstage. btw i got the sasha 2 brand new at less than 20k srp.
Sasha 2 is way more expensive that I can afford. My hope is to some ~ $20K speakers used for much less than MSRP. Or I can just stay put with my F228Be, which are great speakers anyway.
As subjective as it may sound, Sopra does not do bi-wire, and my speaker cables I have are bi-wire, and I would like to keep them
Used Sopra No. 2 are starting to show up at around $8K, which is a pretty dang nice price for the product you are getting. I will say, the Dali Epicon 6 and 8 are very intriguing speakers for all around use.
@supermerio In your opinion, what put the Sasha 2 over the top of all the others you mentioned?
