DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
Well, as life is sometimes; unexpected.The motor in my daily driver\track car blew, I have been spending all my speaker money on go fast bits and tuning. Installed a "built" motor, bigger turbo, secondary fueling, high torque clutches...bla bla bl... 
Need information on atmos
I recently installed the Triad Silvers in the ceiling, they do have an adjustable plinth if you will, that allows you to focus the sound toward the primary seating position. The ideal location is not always possible with existing home construction... 
Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel)
You might also consider the Proceed AMP5, I use mine to fill out my rear surrounds, its 125wpc @8 but doubles to 250@4, massive power supply, 3 trans formers, L@R are basically single chassis monoblocks, the Center and surrounds share one. Current...

Actually neither can I. 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
The Yvette has a little less impact the S 2, being double the woofer, fills out pretty nice, with the highs and mids about the same, maybe a little sweeter than the Sasha 2. So kind of a trade off.Room is a great room style house, not ideal. basic... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I have not pulled the trigger just yet, I have been thinking very hard about getting the DAW and being done with it, but then I heard the yvette the other day as I was just stopping through the hood. They have a pair of DAW on consignment\trade in... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I think it might be a few years before a used set of DAW are on the market.Still teetering on the Sasha 2 vs Alexia 1. Seems the better value in the used market right now. These would be factory certified used to take advantage of the trade in rou... 
OPPO 205 set up questions
It should only be processed once if you do the analog outs on the Oppo, the recvr should just pass through and do volume control.The HDMI out on the 205 has some very nice clocking features to reduce jitter iirc, the sound via this link is superio... 
OPPO 205 set up questions
I Use Roon Audio to stream music t0 Oppo 205, Not sure on the 8802 for sound quality-DAC, Try using the HDMI via Bitstream, let the 8802 do its thing. Compare that the the analog outs on the Oppo.I found the Analog outs have a very nice warm sound... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
Actually having only heard the Alexia 2 (though the price is out of my range), I assumed that the Alexia 1 would be very good, not A2 good but great for a speaker in that range. I got a chance to hear the DAW and A2 in the same room, the DAW stood... 
Proceed AMP5 upgrade?
Now my quandary is what do I get to run the surrounds, for now I have the AMP5 just doing the 2 surrounds, its a lot of heat for just those 2 speakers, its high A bias make it pretty warm in just standby. I have been thinking about getting a Class... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I now have a pair of Classe Omega Mono's to drive them so  that is not a problem 4000w @ 1ohm !.  (500@ 8 doubling to 1, MASSIVE power supply) Sasha 2 according to Wilson is 2.17 @ 90, and the Alexia 2 is 2.54 @ 85.In any case I think I have an am... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I agree if money were no object, but at nearly 10k less for a CPO trade in scenario, the Alexia 1 looks really good, to save even a few more buck and move up to the DAW (or whatever is next) in a couple years. I think either the Sasha 2 or Alexia ... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
Thank you for that, the difference between the Sasha and Alexia is small enough, that the decision from here would be one of size, the Alexia are about 6-7" taller and a bit wider. 
Proceed AMP5 upgrade?
I ended up buying a pair of Classe Omega Mono's, and single CA-M400 for the center. Amazing.
