Default opinions of Sasha 2's in a smaller room?

I would like to hear opinions of the Sasha 2's in a smaller room 12' x 16' x 8 foot ceilings. Room is heavily treated with absorption, bass traps and deflection. Electronic would be Krell Evolution One and Two's.

Bill P would be the one who would be able to answer your question in some detail - he'll probably chime in when free since you appropriately put this in the Wilson forum.

Until then, others in your predicament will post.

Best Sir,

Bob

shpritz, since your room is already heavily treated I think you will be ok, unless you listen at concert volume levels.

No I don't listen to music at concert levels. Mostly Jazz, Blues, easy listening. Never really cranked up to uncomfortable levels.

I used to have the Sasha 2 in a room that was about 1/2 foot smaller in width.

First off they sounded great. I had no treatment. I did have to pull them about 2 ft from the back wall and about 1.5 from the side walls.

Unfortunately the room turned into a shared use room when my son was born two years ago so I ended up trading in for a pair of duettes 2 to give me more flexibility in placement and more easily movable. Really I don't listen to music with a lot of bass so I don't actually miss the difference. Ymmv.

I think if you have a dedicated room and treatment you should be fine with Sasha.

I have Sasha 1s in a 12-1/2 x 19-1/2. Before acoustic treatment, my room was very bright. That surprised me. However, since then I installed 4 panels from GIK; 2 freestanding bass panels and 2 alpha panels.
All is good now, although I doubt I will ever quit monkeying around with one thing or another.
I really don't think you will have a problem so long as you are free to treat acoustically and place them in the best location.
Hope this helps.
