| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. Just adding on this older post. The Sain Chord power cable on my ARC pre-amp has been/is a game-changer for my system (Wilson Audio + ARC Ref + Lumin + Transparent Super cables/ICs). It made a similar, but greater, enhancement than going from Tr... | |
| Simaudio Moon 700i vs Boulder 865 Integrateds I'll try to come back and provide an update in a couple weeks. It is just being shipped tomorrow. I did hear it with Focal Scala v1 about a year ago and was very impressed. I was A/B 'ing it against my ARC Ref separates - Ref 3 and Ref 75. It ... | |
| Wilson Audio Yvette vs Sasha 2 I heard the Sabrinas ealier, once with McIntosh and once with ARC. They were very good with ARC. But, I felt like I could hear some overcooked mid bass - like they were trying to show off that they weren't "little men". They thew a huge soundst... | |
| Simaudio Moon 700i vs Boulder 865 Integrateds Nevermind. I went for the Boulder. | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ How did the Yvette compare to Sasha 2? I’d assume they are very similar in highs and mid high. How about scale, impact, ease, naturalness? Whats yiu room size? | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ @adsell What did you end up doing? I'm in a very similar boat. I'm actually trying to decide which upgrade for Sophia 2 - Sasha 1 or Sasha 2, or maybe wait for Alexia. Sasha 1 = 13kSasha 2 = 18kAlexia 1 = ?? maybe 22k. Did you pull the trigger... | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? I’ve had Alexia 1 and Sasha 1 and Sophia 3. I currently am rebuilding a system and have Sophia 2 as a place holder. Wondering how Sasha 2 would compare between Sasha 1 and Alexia 1. 14x21 room w 10’ celining. Same ARC gear. | |
| Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's @bugredmachine did you get the 3s? I've had Sopra 2s in my 21x14x10H room, and felt they didn't have enough bass compared to my Sasha 1s. I do have bass corner traps in the front. I'm now thinking of Sopra 3s... but concerned about bass. My r... | |
| Focal sopra 3 better than scala utopia v2 I heard. I would love to hear other/more thoughts on the Sopra 3. I ended up selling my entire audio room, and now rebuilding and torn between getting some Sopra 3s or another pair of Sahsa 1s. We love the Sasha, and love the Scala. We thought the Sopra 2s... | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) For me, yes | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) Ultimately, I can’t get away from he ref75. I added kt150s, and it’s a real dream. Even prefer it w my Wilson Alexias. Wow. | |
| Focal sopra 3 better than scala utopia v2 I heard. I’ve gone from Wilson Audio Sasha (v1) to Sopra 2 and I must say I’m impressed. The imaging, and depth of the stage, clarity and speaker disappearing are better than the Sashas in my 14 by 21 by 10 room w bass and first reflection treatments and ... | |
| What Are You Powering Your Focal Utopias With? VAC... Hmmm. Seems to be a common (still) recommendation. | |
| What Are You Powering Your Focal Utopias With? @jjue Thanks. Looks like a mighty fine integrated. Anything it does better than another? | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? I know I'm very late to this party/thread, but have to jump in. I appreciate everyone's efforts in trying to explain their different experiences and opinions with these two great speakers. It has helped me. I just sold my Sashas (had them for ~18... |
