I have not heard the WWP5's or the 8's but I can say that the Sasha's driven by a 100 watt tube Acoustic Research amp have become my standard! Huge soundstage, (Pete Townshend's "Misunderstood" was an excellent example for demonstrating what they can do), very tight accurate bass and a 3d quality lacking on most speakers. My wife wants a second mortgage so we can get the Sasha's and if the wife wants them, you know they are the real deal!
Replacing Wilson WattPuppy 5's
Yes, 20 years is a generous life span for these pets, but driven by the Vac Renaissance 70/70, well, they always sounded like 'home' to me. I'm considering either the Sashas or the Sophia 3's, once they're brought in from Eliot's loading dock and broken in. Should I anticipate a quantum leap in presentation from 1991 or has the Wilson 'sound' been pretty consistent over time ? Thanks. I'm a new member here.
