Thank you, Dave! I know everyone at Wilson was very pleased with the show and amazed at all the awards Sasha has won. Sasha sure seems to be winning the hearts (and ears) of so many!!

@ 'cisco and Face - Great comments and suggestions! Just like cars, speakers should be cleaned and maintained. You guys seem to be doing a great and through job with yours!

Another note on tightening driver screws.

Don't use the 3/32" Allen Wrench in the Wilson tool kit to tighten the four small black screws on the tweeters. The heads aren't 3/32". These heads are 2.5mm.

Interesting... I'll have to ask my Wilson dealer about this. I agree with Joe...and would be apprehensive about manipulating the hardware out of fear of stripping a screw or causing other problems. Really feel like this would be better performed by the dealers.

So I''m interested in tightening my driver screws in my Sasha's... Is the correct answer to tighten (Bass) 20LBS, (Mid, Tweeter) 15Lbs based on the above clarification?

Howard is right about the stripped screws. An option to that method would be to use THIS
While youre at it, you may also consider replacing the gaskets with MORTITE

If you have Sashas, Wilson recommends 20 in-lbs of torque on all of the driver fasteners/bolts. This does not include the four small black screws on the tweeters. I'd also check the fasteners/bolts on the ports.

Use something similar to a Wheeler Engineering FAT wrench, to ensure that you're not over tightening.

How do you know if they're all set correctly?
