Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW

I’m consider one of these two speakers, the Rockport Avior 2 and the new Wilson Sasha DAW. My room is 19’ x 25’ with a 20’ ceiling, the room floor plan opens behind me into a kitchen and the rest of the house. I listen at low to moderate levels and usually have to supplement the bass with a sub because of the large space. I listen to jazz, folk, classical full orchestra some old classic rock on rare occasions. I’ve always like the detail of electrostatic speakers but they all have there limitations. Looking for a great all around speaker. I Enjoy both tube and solid gear, currently using solid state spectral. I Have several amp choices from Spectral and Rowland. Just wonder if anyone knows these speakers intimately and can give me some strengths of each and an opinion which you would choose and why. I’ve been researching many other speakers and have come down to these two. Thank you for your thoughts.

I’ve listened to the Rockport Cygnus twice in a home setting. I imagine any of the Rockports will be able to fill / pressurize your room to your satisfaction.

I personally do not see a need for subs (for augmentation) but that, of course, is a personal choice.

Some of the listeners stated a need to push the volume for the system to come alive. I’m specifically mentioning ’system’ because it may have been the amplification [and NOT the speakers]. Pointing this out since you list low to moderate listening levels as being important. The owner of the Cygnus based system listens to them at moderate volumes.

All the best in your search and final choice.
