Amp or speaker first, upgrade
As someone who owned Wilson's,  I  encourage you to listen to Aerial 7Ts and Revel F208's depending on your budget. 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
folkfreak,I get it and it's nice that you explained why you purchased expensive cables. If I had the money I would. I don't understand why people are so quick to judge others and name call. What I get out of this thread is for me to be more humble...

Speakers "usually" have the most impact. 
Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC
Cables are about system synergy...no such animal as the best. I have an all Jeff Rowland system driving Monitor Audio PL500's and I use Wireworld Platinum interconnect and power cables. I use Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 speaker cable. There are too... 
Best type of Sub to consider?
If mainly for two channel I would go with a sealed design ...but I would try it with your speaker ports plugged and unplugged. 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
If I had the money and after listening to them thought 10K speaker cables made a difference I would happily purchase them. I think we are to critical of individuals that have the resources to purchase ultra expensive cables. If someone has a syste... 
Monitor Audio
soix,It would be unfair to directly compare the PL500s to Sasha's. My entire system has changed. The system with the Sasha's consisted of the following equipment: Densen B-350 mono amps, Densen B-250 preamp, Rega Apollo CD player as a transport, A...

rinpoche,I feel your pain. Unfortunately no one can tell you what to buy. Only your ears and wallet can decide what's best for you based on your sonic priorities. It's a pretty easy decision, what sounds best based on how much you want to spend.  
BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA
When I had my Sasha’s I called Wilson Audio and they wouldn’t recommend any components. Some manufacturer’s do, but many won’t. I’m curious, I understand your cd5s has a built in preamplifier, but have you tried or thought of trying a preamp?

p59teitel,several people asked for Bo to list his equipment, so I did. I don't agree with his tone either. I think it's funny how so many want to dictate how individuals respond to a post and that's why I sent the OP a PM, essentially saying the s... 
BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA
I believe bo1972 owns Pass Labs amplifiers, AudioQuest Wel Signature speaker and interconnect cables, Purist power cables, some form of Audyssey, and Monitor Audio speakers. I’m not sure what model Pass Labs or Monitor Audio speakers he has. If I’...

knghifi,I submit there are many reasons besides sound that a company can have a large market share in highend audio...marketing and wide distribution are two reasons that I think contribute to a company having a larger market share

Charles,I understand what you're saying about the OP loving his Sasha's. However based on my experience with Wilson Audio Sophia 2's, 3's, and Sasha's I sent the OP a PM suggesting that he should consider other speakers. It's just my experience, b... 
ASSEMBLED IN CHINA
I guess I should throw my computer and mobile phone away. I've had many speakers over the years and the only pair that had quality issues were Wilson Audio Sophia 2's...the finish started to peel. I don't think they are made in China.   
What's going on with the audio market?
You don’t protect your 1st Amendment rights anymore than I do. After 50 years on this earth I’ve learned to stay away from, not talk to, or simply ignore people that I perceive to be like you. Unfortunately, Audiogon doesn’t have an unfriend like ...
