Wilson Audio Haters
I have continuously owned Wilson Audio Speakers over the past 15 years, I'm currently on my 5th pair (Sasha 2) and have been very happy with the performance and quality of the excellent products offered by this outstanding American Company. Unfort... 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
I'm using a pair of Sasha 2 in a 20' x 26' Room with great results including deep powerful bass. The Sasha 2 represent a much better value (at $20K less) and imo are nicer looking than the similarly sounding Alexia when used in a mid-sized Room th... 
Sony Hapz1es or blue sound.......

I've owned both > the Wilson Audio Cub2 was clearly a full step above the B&W in imaging, detail, vocals & mid-bass, and was overall far more realistic sounding. I had them set-up 9' apart in a large room and the imaging was amazing! 
Upgrading Pass Labs X2.5 to new XP-10 Preamp.
Jebsmith73: The Sophias are quite efficient, with most of my listening the X250.5 is in Class A mode (meter steady). I'm leaning more towards upgrading into a PASS XA.5 Amplifier(s), in the future. This System is very powerful, detailed and smooth...
