Plus, if I am going to upgrade, I feel I should see what other companies sound like...see if I am missing something. I love the 802 diamond. I am only doing this as an experiment to really see if there are any improvements to be had without spending 50k and up. If I can find something under 30k which gives a big improvement, I might be willing to sell a child or something. Kidding. |

Unfortunately, no. But they do have Vienna Acoustics. There is another dealer around here that does have SF, but one of my factors is that my dealer has a trade-up program that I would NEED to take advantage of if I am going with something expensive like Sashas.
Plus, I really like my dealer and want to give them business if I can. But if Wilsons don't "do it for me" then I should listen to SF just to see what's going on over there. I might also ask them if I can hear VA "The Music"...not sure how hard it is for them to get a pair to audition. |

I've never, ever liked the 802Ds; they've always sounded like cones in a box to me.
The Sasha, in fact, was the first Wilson I heard that didn't for the most part (to me the Sophia IIIs still do, but the very slight boxiness I still hear in the Sasha is completely gone in the Alexia.) If you're going to investigate an upgrade, I'd recommend listening to the Alexia or, my personal favorites, anything in the Vivid Audio Giya series. |

And I do not like BW either. Actually the only british speakers that I cannot stand ! They always sounded aggressive to me.
