| 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.

| 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.

| 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... | |

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 ... | |

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... | |
