The A2 was slightly more filled out. The tops and mids were very similar.And that will be what tells over time.

DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
Having recently heard the DAW, and Alexia 2, they are very close in performance the $$ suggest the DAW is a great value. I have Sophia 1 Wilson offers a generous trade in program, that said its still a lot of money, so my thinking has been to just get the DAW (my heart, my head says get the Alexia 1 CPO or Sasha 2 CPO) Not being independently wealthy, getting Either the Alexia 1 or Sasha 2 seem like sound choices, and trade up again later a couple years from now. My question is would you spend 10k more to get the DAW and stretch a little to make it happen or buy the lesser siblings and trade up in a few years?

Forget the dB efficiency, you have the watts regardless, more important here is the current ability of the amp, and you have that too. You have the amplification, then out of the ones in your title, the Alexia 1 would be the choice. But I have heard the Alexia 1 and then the Alexia 2 and the two is even better again. Cheers George |
adsell OP The Alexia to me would have the nod, IF!!! you have the amp to drive them?? As they are a pig of an amplifier load down to 0.9ohm EPDR in the bass. The Sasha 1’s were just as bad, and the Sasha 2’s are said to be a little better, but I've seen no graphs on these so that can't be verified, only the 1’s. https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/710Wilfig1.jpg https://www.stereophile.com/images/1213Walexfig01.jpg If you still have the Proceed Amp5 as an amp, this has no chance to drive the Alexia or the Sasha1 properly, and a ? with the Sasha 2’s Cheers George |
