After repositioning my Sasha,allowing for a little more amplifier burn in and keeping the amps on for at least 2 hours to warm up and all remorse vanished.
The Xa 100.8 is great.
goes about its business unassumingly. Sound just right.
The warmth of the Xa 30.5 is nice but very often muddies things up. the Xa 100.8 is accurate;natural and revealing of the source/recording. i do not miss the additional warmth . i prefer accuracy over warmth .
The Sasha has come alive. Dynamic !!!.
i now have more texture, better soundstage, terrific mids and tops and deep low textured bass, with impact. no boom no muddiness.
i can distinctly hear instruments clearly with better separation and air around.
the Xa 100.8 are a worthy upgrade. i am expecting more as the tweeters settle and the amplifier is fully burnt in.
