Finally absolutely satisfied with my system
I have found in hi fi and life, if I buy good stuff at the outset, I keep what I buy for a long time, respect and enjoy it more, and it ends up costing a lot less in the long run! It also distracts me from material pursuits and frees up my mind to...

Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
The Sabrinas were nice but imo not a full sounding speaker with a missing bottom end. A boy doing a man's job. A sub would be needed for sure resulting most likely in a non integrated sound. It gave the flavor of Wilson sound but not enough of it ... 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
Similar to tires, it is very difficult even at the very high end to find one product for all applications. Some music just sounds better on certain speakers. We also hear differently and variably appreciate nuances in sounds. Hence the success of ...

Most things in life are a compromise to most people. Remember to enjoy where you are.  
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
Thankfully the room and system does not suffer from the boominess or imbalance possible in a small room . The  bass is tight, involving,  and quite pleasing without fatigue experienced over long sessions. Vitop, I have not heard the Personas but a... 
Wilson Sasha 1
I have the Sasha 2s and love them. I have never heard the Sasha1s but I am sure they are close. IMO it is very difficult but not impossible to add a sub and still have a well integrated sound and might end diluting the factories intended excitemen... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Does the Audio Doctor staff do anything besides hijack Audiogon forums in the hopes of hawking their gear and annoying anyone who has the misfortune to come in contact with their posts? Just shamelessly relentless and plain wrong. Please consider ... 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
So…after almost a month of waiting, the  Sasha 2’s  (galaxy gray) were delivered. Shipping weight was over 500lbs and I am glad they come with installation! It took 2 men about 5 hours to unpack, remove the protective film and set them up and stor... 
Music you found on Tidal
As for music:Moderat...Moderat LiveSohn......RennenYello.......ToyNot terribly well know but definitely worth a listen 
Music you found on Tidal
Bubba: the drop outs are most likely a connectivity issue. I listen at home every day and it is not ever  an issue at my house. I also did a comparison and tidal digital out from a blue sound to my McIntosh C50 dac in my opinion does sound better ... 
What is most important part of a system?
I guess there are many different opinions on this topic!I agree with the above well described weakest link theory. But to my logic and ears, speakers will impart the biggest personality influence on sound quality. Yes, lousy room acoustics, poor r... 
Sony Hapz1es or blue sound.......
I have the Sony and really like it and also have the blue sound node for streaming. Both great devices. I would love the Sony more if it streamed Tidal.  They would probably sell a ton more. Really well made  (weighs a ton) and musical too. 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
Your room is larger than mine dcolver and I still considered the Alexias. My dealer said they would overwhelm and I listened to him. I bet they would work well for your room as yours is larger.  Big cost differential though. One thing that I did n... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
U2. Would recommend highly.
