The new Alexandria XLF is coming.

Is there anybody outside who nows if the new tweeter also comes in the sasha?

Hey Mike... I actually went to listen to the Sasha with Momentums so didn't take a camera. It was my surprise when I walked in and they said come see what we just set up. They assured me they would have pictures up soon on their site. The speakers were still in the frisks.

No, the Sasha does not have the same tweeter as the Alexandria XLF. The XLF tweeter is only used in the XLF, and none of the other models.

The Sasha has the same tweeter as the Maxx 3 and Alexandria Series 2.

I knew the XLF's were due to arrive last week. Looking forward to hearing them when I pick up my amps on Wednesday.

I picked them up yesterday and all seems back to normal. The buz/hum is virtually gone as far as I can tell. It is good to have everything back to normal again. Received a note from Dan D'Agostino noting that he designed a special filter for my amps to address the noise.

Jim; Good to hear you are back to normal with your amps.

I foresee a soft-dome tweeter in the M4, that would be truly be amazing if it happened, that would be a speaker to keep for many years to come.

I have heard a lot of tweeters in my time. While there will certainly be improvements/replacements to the Maxx3 its tweeter simply is not ruthless, IMO. It's about as good as I have heard. It is important to note that treble midrange and bass are all matters of taste. In fact it is the BE/diamond type tweeters that cannot be listened to on axis because they are too hard/bright. Soft domes are known to sound rolled-off/soft. Again treble is a matter of taste. The real question regarding treble in a system is does it call attention to itself or is it integrated and in fact become "part" of the midrange for your ears in your room. If it does not then you have a slightly bright or slighty soft treble regarding the midrange. To me treble is predicated off the midrange. In my room no one would say that my Maxxes have a recessed midrange. The titanium Wilson tweeter perfectly matches the character of the midrange whose lead it follows.

I disagree about diamond/BE tweeters. I prefer them over every other tweeter except possibly those on MBL's.

As you state treble is a matter of taste.
