Default Sasha Review in August TAS
Just received the latest issue of Absolute Sound . This issue has a review of the Sasha's with the cover teaser "Better than the Watt/Puppy?" I think I will skip to the end to find out.

Am sure the reviews are positive.
So far, the reviews I've read from Stereophile, the Australian A/V Hub has always been positive.
Great speaker & something to aspire for in the future. Hope the price will stay there for a while till we can afford it. hehehhe

Actually Hi Fi Plus reviewed the Sasha's in issue 67 which was 5 issues ago and they only publish 7 times per year. The US reviewers must like to keep them longer.

Yeah, I'm surprised Dudley let them go back. Interesting how he went from being basically turned off by Wilson for years to his glowing reviews of both the Sasha and the Sophia over the past 6 months or so.

Art Dudley is a british type of sound guy: Audio Note, Quad & Harbeth. I'm surprised he is now liking the Wilson Sound. I have a feeling that Wilson is voicing their speakers towards the warmer side of things.

I felt that Sasha was pleasantly a touch on the warmer side of neutral. In any case, it was an engaging and musical speaker. I miss my Sasha's a lot.
