For now till 2010, my Acapellas will be the ones .... and until I can convince the local rep here to have an A/B in my new home between the Sasha and the Acapella's, I would not just go and buy - something of a bad habit I had before!

Once again, I am so happy for you (and seriously, do have some envy ...) on the new Sasha you are going to own! Ok, Ok, I just need to have my head screw up in place before I plonk away the cash I just banked in after selling off some of my watches!

Cheers!
Thanks Jerry. I agree, you really should get to hear them for yourself because you know we all have our preference. I do really do like the "new sound of Wilson" with the Sasha unless of course the MXR had such a strong sonic signature that it made them sing in a different voice.

I'll go back and listen some more on Monday with different amps to get more insight into this. My long term plan is to try them with my Lamm's at home and if I don't get the same synergy, I may have to pick up a pair of MXRs since I loved the way they made music together. I have a feeling the Lamm's will also be great with the Sasha but we'll see.

I consider the amps/speakers a "system" within a "system" since proper pairing is a "must" to get proper synergy and being able to drive the speaker to satisfaction after which the rest of the components can easily fall into place.
