Wilson Sasha 1


I've been toying with the idea of upgrading from my wilson sofia 2s to a pair of Sasha 1s.   I love my sophias, but I'm looking for a little bit more low end authority.   I've noticed on Audiogon that there are a lot of Sasha 1s being sold at some pretty discounted prices.   Is there a reason for that?

I like the aggresiveness of Wilson, but should I be looking elsewhere?

Jnovak,  Interesting that you mention that.  I have two JL Audio f112s that i pretty much exclusively use for the home theater portion of my set up.   Maybe I should consider the new JL Audio CR-1 crossover and just try and utilize my f112s better.
Thanks brauser.   I may start off trying to do this with the sophia 2s first and then move up to the sasha's later.
Musicfx,
I still have my Sophia 2s at the moment.   Actually, as james633 suggested, late last year I integrated my two f112s in with my speakers and it has worked really well.   Not perfect by any means, but really close.    The Aye KX-5 Twenty has two sets of XLR outputs and I just ran one set to the subs and set the cross over at 60hz on the subs themselves.   I really like the sound--Not only added a lot in base, but the whole soundstage become so much deeper.

I'm still looking at other speakers and certainly have looked for Sasha 1s on audiogon, but have not really seen any lately.    I've also listened to the new Sasha 2s, Paradigm Personas as well as the Monitor Platinum II.   All have have nice sounds with the correct electronics. 

I've had some other financial responsibilities come up, but I'm still looking to upgrade.   I can't really afford the speakers at the moment, but am looking to upgrade my Schiit Yggdrasil DAC to the Chord DAVE or Ayre QX-5(as I mentioned on your thread).   Also looking to upgrade my Oppo 105 to the OPPO 205 along with a new 4K projector.

Expensive hobby, but you gotta love it!
