Default Sasha 2 delivery today!

I'm anxiously awaiting my dealer right now. I spent hours listening to my Sasha's last night, and I just don't see how they could be improved. But I'm confident that I will not be looking back, based on my limited experience with the Sasha 2 and Alexia sound. I think the new tweeter is an improvement, but the proof will be what happens when they are in my room. I'll find out soon! Pics to follow.

Congrats and enjoy. I've had my Sasha 2 pair for over a month now. Will be nice to be in like company, and share impressions.

Since getting my Sasha 2's, I've been finishing up getting my Shunyata loom and the sound just keeps improving and getting more detailed. I've also been ripping my CD collection to a large NAS. Up to 545 CD's ripped, and I've found some CD's with better sound than I remembered.

One surprise to me, having moved from the Sophia 3, was how more efficient the new Sasha's are. I can't have my preamp volume at the same level as before - it would run me out of the room.

Thanks everyone! I am blown away! They really are a nice improvement over the original. Treble is much more focused, smooth, and incredibly detailed. Integration with the mid is waaaay better, voices sound organic and lifelike in a way I never heard in my room before!

It's a sticker on the outside of the wrapping. Wilson wraps their speakers in a thick plastic sheathing.
