Sonus Faber vs Wilson

The Wilsons do look "robotic".    They don't look like furniture that gives a room that warm comfortable feeling.     I can't imagine how they'd score on the  Wife Acceptance Factor test.    Keep the wife and the SF.

The gryphon doubles wattage down to 2 ohms ,wilsons are a easy load 
the Gryphon can handle even maggi with ease.

I’ve heard those Sashas at that Florida dealer. I think he was running a Bartoc pre direct through to an ARC 160. I was totally impressed with the way ARC responded with the Wilsons.  I was actually thinking of going the Sonus Faber Amati Tradition direction until I heard the Sasha DAW’s. The SF is a gorgeous design but  I chose the Sashas and I’m glad I did. They look fabulous with my decor. I even
bought a couch to match the speakers (desert silver). 
 The Wilson’s are several steps above the SF’s in sound and neutrality  and IMO the Gryphon is a better match w Wilson for slam and bass response. You’ll need to have a dealer setup bc the Wilson’s are not easy to get right but once you do, it’s over.

hiding the gryphon

pretty hard to do given it's cooling requirements

I started this journey in March of this year with a $5000 budget and…well….

I can relate.  I started with budgets of $3k preamp/amp and $5k speakers.  I ended up paying $18k Constellation Inspiration preamp/amp (TAS Top 50 Bargains)  and am waiting for some funds for my $25k Magico A5 speakers (sonics competes with their $40k S5mkII) and cables.  Initially I told my wife my total spending will be $60k for my entire analog/digital chain, well you know the rest of the story....and counting....

With respects to how long you’ve had your SF speakers, i can for sure say that IF you get those Wilsons, you will sooner or later have next itch, what happens with a separate power amp. No matter how nice you think the Gryphon is, a separate power/ pre will get you to next step. I have been in this situation myself. It just never ends. Also, a system is so room dependant so there is no way you can compare those speakers without swapping them back and forth in same environment. Have you ever visited a true state of the art room acoustic center? I say you will be utterly amazed when you realize what room acoustics do.
What kills most of the overall sound is room nodes (bass peaks and dips).
These are also not solved with the typical room acoustic devices (bass nodes).
If you measure, you’ll have the facts clear. So again, consider listening in your room and also consider if you possibly will ask for a new power/pre amp in a few years.

I personally quit all hifi for years and years because i got OCD. Nothing mattered but the system and it’s updates. 10 years later i still pay for stuff i don’t own (sold it all).
To reroute back to you, who you are will determine how you behave with this hobby. 18K is alot just to change speakers in less than ½ year.
