It did however narrow the gap to the Alexia 2 ...

I also heard the Wilson DAW last night at the Music Lovers Audio event in San Francisco. I thought my ARC/Wilson Sasha (series 1) system was pretty good but I was blown away by the new speakers. I agree the bottom end was absolutely amazing. I've not heard the Alexia 2 but hard to imagine it can get much better. What was even more impressive is the system was driven by relatively modest Luxman electronics, a $10K integrated amp and $20K DAC/streamer and Transparent Reference cables.

Even though I live in Texas I've been to Music Lovers in San Francisco while visiting the area and seemed like great people there. Sounds like you had a great event!

Decided to put my SF Amati Futuras’s up for sale and just placed order for Sasha DAW in Titanium Brown Extra Flake Satin. Next on the upgrade list will be Transparent cables.

Thanks guys, I’m excited! Have wanted to join the Wilson club for a while. Now trying to decide grill color. Default would be black, but wondering if a lighter color would look better with Titanium Brown.

And... hardware color.

Maybe to match grill color.

Enjoy...
