| Focal Sopra 3 vs Wilson Audio Sasha W/P (series 1) Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate it! I don’t find the Sashas too bright in my room. It’s pretty damped w pilecarper and treatments. I wish the comment in the review were more specific. I think putting all tube amps under the same comment... | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ Bumping this again, as I'm still in the same conundrum. I've ~$35k (on the USED market) for:-Speakers-Amplification (integrated or separates)(cables will be Transparent Gen 5 Ultra and source is Lumin T1)The only speakers I am considering/want ar... | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ @adsell Did you ever get back to the Wilson dilemma and make a choice? I ended up buy Sophia 3 again. Great speaker, but I've sold my whole system (again !) in preparations for a move in the spring. I'll be - depending on the room - in a simil... | |
| Focal Scala Evo vs Wilson Audio Alexia 1 @georgehifi I've been a long-time fan of the ARC Ref 75 (w KT120s and 150s), and I've used it with Sasha 1, Alexia 1, and Sophia 3. I recently had it w/ Sophia 3 and thought it was great - that was until I had a Simaudio Moon i700 for a few weeks... | |

| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? @larryi I'm more apt to go this route. But... I can't do ultra low power. @gdnrbob Bob, I've currently got Wilson Audio Sophia 3. I'll be selling them, and rebuilding a system in about 6 mos. Likley, I'll go back to Wilson and ARC. But, we'll... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? @millercarbon Wow! Thanks for the thoughtful reply. You may be swaying me on the balanced (which I already fully agree with) and TT source. Hmmm. Giving me some hope about the vinyl. Plus, I think it may be fun trying to find old vinyl at ga... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? @gdnrbob Price can be either. I agree on the pricing of TA cables... but, I do like them. + @erik_squires What do you both like about the Vanersteens? I've heard vandersteen, run by my Ref 75 (at the time). Treo or Quattro Carbon (CT)... I can't ... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? @millercarbon I like your thinking. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, especially on the TT. I know almost nothing about that, so thanks again.I also really like you're more balanced spending approach. I could be guilty of putting half in the s... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? Oh.. and Transparent Super or Ultra cables, of course. | |

| Focal Scala Utopia V1 vs Competition in 2017 @kent3888 what did you end up doing? I had Scala v1 some years ago, and let them go. Wish I hadn't. I had Sopra 2s last year, but they couldn't deliver the scale, drama, impact, or depth (move enough air) in my room - compared to the Scala v1 o... | |
