Alfa...I think you will get greater benefits by upgrading to Sasha2.

The Sasha 2 is also more sensitive, which mean your amp will drive them better...win-win

"The Sasha Series-2 has been specified to be 92dB efficient at 1-watt/1m/1kHz which makes it 1dB more efficient than the previous version. In-room average frequency response spans the 20Hz to 27kHz range within a ±3dB window. The system impedance has been quoted as 4 ohms with a minimum at 2.7 ohms; this is an easier load than Series-1 and far easier than big sister Alexia. Wilson Audio recommends a minimum of 20 watts of amplification and we would not dispute that — as long as it’s accompanied by high current capacity in order to reap the best bass control and dynamic potential"
