Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
Ohlala, the Sashas and Sabrinas were heard in the same room which was to my eye about 22' x 24'.I did not have the opportunity to hear the Evette. Both dealers near me did not have them to demo. I did however prefer the separate box design for twe...

996cupracer, can I ask in approximately what size room did you audition the Sabrinas? Same room as Sasha? In defense of audiotroy, he is dealer; he is not some low-life shill. If only shills were criticized so pointedly.

They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?
It is annoying, but worth certainly worth inquiring. What can be offered between wholesale and MSRP varies a lot.    
Stand mount speakers for a very large room !!
JBL, in particular the 4312. They have good power handling and adjustable MF and HF that should help for a large room where there is going to be HF loss.  
If I block the speaker, will it damage the drivers?

Any News on MQA Lately?
There is some recent MQA discussion on audio asylum.  They did do an hi-rez/MQA demo of the same song at RMAF with an emphasis on reducing temporal distortion.  The result of the demo was, of course, forgone, and the difference was quite large.

Acoustic Zen, Reference 3A and ATC
I was told by ATC people that for the active versions phase is adjusted  
Ryan R630 or Spendor D7
My thoughts that may help, or not:1) Both are great lines.2) Stereophile published their measurements of the D73) I think Ryan tweeters are less likely to be bright in near field, although may be total non-issue with Spendors.  I have heard only t... 
RMAF 2016
Thank you. Too bad for me as I am interested in the horning speakers. Better to find out now certainly. That Marriott has been very due for remodel.  
KEF Reference 1
I think highly of KEF's Uni-Q driver and have been considering it for my next speaker. It has an and excellent frequency response and even dispersion. I would guess the Reference 1 does not need much side-wall treatment to sound great.
