Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?

Sky, I live in the NY tri-state area. There are only a couple of dealers near me and both are very good, Lyric  and Take 5.  They don't discount Wilson speakers like many other brands. They don't need to as my dealer says they sell at least 1 -2 p...

Ohlala, the Sashas and Sabrinas were heard in the same room which was to my eye about 22' x 24'.I did not have the opportunity to hear the Evette. Both dealers near me did not have them to demo. I did however prefer the separate box design for twe...

Many people just want to help, mean well and are so passionate about their gear that they think "Let me enlighten" and can't believe anyone would want anything else. Thanks for all your help.

I went to the 4 best dealers within a 50 mile radius and heard about 15+ speakers. I could have heard more, but as I said in an earlier post, I knew my work was done when I heard the Sasha 2s.  Doubt was left since I have not heard the Alexias and...

Went back to dealer to give final payment for speakers. I listened to the Sasha 2 again. To my ears, they sounded better than I remember. I also listened to Maggies, Golden Ear 1, Facal Sopra, B&Ws. No contest. I think I will be very happy wit... 
What are the Best FM tuners?
This question may have been relevant to hifi in the 1980's but is it in 2017? I had a decent Yamaha tuner with a pretty good antennae in the attic but never used it so I sold the tuner and have not missed it. With all the source options that are a... 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Titos! Gluten free, made in the USA (Austin ,Texas) and as smooth or smoother than  most costing multiples in fancy bottles that you throw away. Why spend more?
