Wilson Sasha V

In two days Wilson Audio will announce the new Sasha V.  Previews show the major changes are to the tweeter, midrange and top plate of the woofer section which will now have V material.  The new Sasha V will also include the new isolation spike designed with V material.

On the one hand, I love the sound of my Sasha DAWs.  I’ve only had them for about a year and now my audio neurosis will kick in making me wonder what I am missing out on with the new speaker.  On the other hand, I applaud Wilson Audio for continuing to work to advance the state of the art.  That’s the sign of a healthy business.

I would love to hear the new Sasha V. But I will not be buying anything soon. I told my wife I was done, but she didn’t believe me. I can’t buy anything for a while just to prove her wrong.

The updated midrange in the Sasha V is the same used in Wilson’s top models.  Kudos to Wilson making their top midrange available at a lower price point.

I heard the Sasha Vs yesterday.  IMHO they were very good, not great.  At least what I heard.  They are 2x what you can get DAWs for and while I have not heard DAWs, people whose opinion I trust told me the Vs are not 2x as good.  Better, yes.  20% better?  25% better.  I know it's hard to quantify.  You can add the diode feet for $3k and narrow the gap between the V and the DAW significantly.  I'd hate to pay $52k now because they'll be available used next year for $35k.  30%+ depreciation in 12 months is more than I will accept.  Just my 2 cents.
