It should sound better, because those S.W machines cost a fortune.

Thanks for the info Grant ... going from AQ Aspen to Alpha is like night and day in many areas especially presence and depth, soundstage width and it seems unbelievably smooth with tons more detail than I'm used to. The question is ... how much difference is there between the Alpha and Sigma? Maybe the better question is what kinds of things might I notice between the Alpha and Sigma? If I love Alpha is the nature of the sound similar? Some lines when you go too far up the line they can seem "bright" and I'm very sensitive to that. Not sure I can audition Sigma is why I'm asking. Also ... going to be used with Wilson Sasha 2's. Appreciate any insight ...

Thx

George
