Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p?

If you look at the latest issue of Stereophile (July 2010) in the technical part of the review, you will see the impedance curve. It's below 4 ohms through most part of the lower midrange/upper bass and there is an amplifier unfriendly combination of 3 ohms/-43 deg phase angle at 61 Hz. So the amp must be rated for 4 ohms and even 2 ohms. But given the seriousness of design and build of Rowland gear, I would be surprised the 8T could not drive the Wilsons. Can't you have a few day in home trial to make sure they work? Good luck!

Goldorak points out what I was going to say. That the Sashas are actually a fairly difficult load in terms of impedance.
That being said, the Rowland 8T will have no problem powering them.
The amps from Rowland during that time had no problem doubling down into more demanding loads.
It's definitely a good choice for those speakers.

Aldenberry,

I'm coming at it from the other side. I just bought a pair of Sophia 2's and I am looking at changing out my amplification. Last week, I spent some time on the phone with a gentleman at Wilson. I was looking for suggestions from him regarding synergistic pairings. He said that Rowland and Wilson go very well together. He went on to say that they liked Jeff's products so much that Wilson incorporated a Rowland amp into one of their subs. Based on this feedback, I think you would be fine.

Good luck.

Thanks so much! An informed and helpful response,
David

Thanks Stratguy,
I appreciate your helpful thoughts. I have owned Genesis 5 (which accommodate anything) and Aerial speakers and have occasionally compared more recent, big dollar amps to the Rowland 8T. Nothing, so far, has measured up! Please continue to share your experience with the Sophia's (great choice, having quenched all the shortcomings of older watt/puppies) and I will with the Sasha. I see the 8T for sale occasionally, priced from $4500-6000. I'll know soon if the Rowland proves to be the best hifi decision I have ever made. I will take the 8T down to San Francisco for my Sasha audition/?purchase, and report back how the 8T fares against big-$$$ competitors. All the best!
