Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap

What have you been driving your Sasha with and getting that low controlled huge bass.

@kunilraiker     An ME850  will drive your Sashas, but IME there are Amplifiers that will sound much better.

@kalali    Yes the big Vincent Mono Blocks ARE awesome. Like your experience they have equaled or bettered some much more expensive/ highly regarded Amps. For the money they are outstanding.

Would love to audition the DartZeel's mentioned and some high end Pass Labs, but big $$$.

"Sure a tube will work and mostly sound good, but the best will not be extracted from the Sasha's in the bass."

What about a pair of ARC 250SEs driving them? Still the same opinion? I think not.

I tried the Pass Labs Aleph yesterday and found the ME to sound better with more controlled bass.

The ME sounds phenomenal but what I want to know which resonanably prices amps can sound better.

There maybe amps that can sound better at a reasonable price, but they may not drive speakers such as these Sasha's in the bass like the ME can.
But if you take the word "reasonable" out then yes there are amps that sound better and can drive the Sasha's as well. Parasound Halo JC1 Monoblocks come to mind, big Gryphon's ect.
