Wilson Sasha 1 vs Sasha 2.... What songs best convey tweeter differences?


Hello again! So in my quest to acquire one or the other Sasha, I'd love to know what songs, movements, track or passage best convey their differences.  Inverted titanium tweeter vs soft dome tweeter....... what specific songs or passages best demonstrate these differences.  I'v read the titanium "can be hot", "tiresome", "shrilly". The soft dome to be "better", "tamed" by comparison. Please, if i may ask, share two of your song collections artist name and particular song that best demonstrate this.  I would then be able to listen to see how each speaker sound to me.  If you can provide specific timing markers that I can hone in would be awesome too.  thank you in advance...

Look at a speaker as a whole. Think about how you will integrate them into your room. Speakers can sound hot, tiresome and shrill for many reasons and tweeter is just one potential culprit. Inadequate amplification that can’t get the bass right, room acoustics with untreated walls and floors and associated equipment are all going to be more influential than the material the tweeter is made from, at least in the case of Wilson speakers.
Don’t overthink it when it comes to the tweeter  

For recordings to use, try Diana Krall “Peel Me a Grape” - good test to see how sibilant the speaker is. It’s also a good track to test the bass.
Keb Mo “I Was Wrong” is a busy track that’s recorded extremely well and is good to test soundstage and how realistic the cymbals sound.
