And now with my new cables (which are yet to be delivered) being biwire, doesn't make things easy. I can change the connectors from banana to spades though.

Wireworld will re-terminate the cables for a reasonable fee, or in your case seeing as they will be brand new most likely swap them for a non-biwire configuration.
They are a great company and have always accomodated my requests.

I can't remember which side of the new B&W D3 looks department you are on but if you like what they look like you may want to wait to hear them before making a final decision. Who knows perhaps the 802D3 and/or the 800D3 will blow the Sasha 2 out of the water.

Great advice. I may look to add a Subwoofer in the mean time.

Audiohippo,
You mentioned Biwire cables. If you mean separate connections to the tweeter and woofer, you can't do that with Wilson speakers.

Yes all good, I landed up purchasing spade connectors and dual wiring the single pair of terminals. This saved getting the cables re-terminated.
