Wilson Alexia - what's the competition
Everyone hears differently and I haven't heard the Alexia's, but I've heard Rockport Aviors and Sashas in the same room. I preferred Sashas and I've heard Alexia's sound better than Sasha's. 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Bo1972,Your argument is that Wilson is some how unique, requiring acoustic treatment, expensive amplifiers, and proper placement to sound best...While at the same time you said,"I do not think Densen is a great match with Monitor Audio. Because it...

Bo1972,"Wilson does not say; hey you need a big room and acousticly adapt it to get a good sound", no manufacture does, that's what the dealer is for. Wilson dealers and other dealers are there to advise on set-up, and what speaker works best for ...

Bifwynne,I'm putting them in their crates now! To deviate from this thread for a second...I'm thinking about the Audio Research Ref CD8 as my next move...did you compare it to anything else prior to purchase? What source did you own prior to the R... 
"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
It would be helpful if you provided your room dimensions. What are your priorities? 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Bo1972,you go on and on about how Wilson's need so much to get them to sound good and then you say, "To get everything out of the Pl-200 you need an amp which can give an extreme wide and deep stage", I get a wide and deep stage with the Densen an...

I found a dealer that carries the P1-200s that's relatively close to me. I will be taking my amp, preamp, and cables to listen to the P1-200s. I'll be sure to provide my honest feedback.

Bo1972,Considering what I paid,I'm actually happy with my system. Have you ever heard Densen with Sasha's? I listen to contemporary Jazz and some old R&B. When the recording permits, the image has depth and extends outside of the speakers. Hav...

Bo1972It's great that you have outstanding ears, but all I asked was for you to recommend 3 alternatives to Sashas below 30K.

Bo1972,Name three speakers under 30K that I should listen to, so I can sell my Sashas. I listen to Jazz and my room is 20'x26'.

Nvp,"eventually everybody here has figured out Wilson speakers are very bad." I guess I didn't get the memo...I've listened to many speakers and for some strange reason I preferred Wilson Sashas. I didn't take anyone's advise, my wife and I used o... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
I've owned Mirage M1s, Devore Fidelity, Audio Physics, Artemis EOS, Sophia 2s & 3s and now Sashas. What I love and hate about Sashas is every component change can be easily heard and sometimes the change is dramatic. I like to learn in this ho... 
Now what?
Chayro,I definitely misinterpreted your comments. I will look into the Doge6 and let you know my findings. Thanks for the suggestion. I love the sound of the Metronome, I'm just hesitant to buy a 10 year old player. 
Now what?
Chayro,I will do a little research on the reliability of the Doge6 (your comments "if the thing doesn't break in the first year", has me worried). I'm lucky that I've been able to evaluate many items in my system prior to purchase. My wife and I u...
