Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I

tooblue,
Now let me tell you the rest of the story. The Sophia 2s I had developed a small crack a couple months after I purchased them. The Sophia 3s were just coming out and Wilson decided to give me 100% for my Sophia 2s towards Sophia 3s. That was a no brainer to me. It only cost me a couple thousand dollars to get the Sophia 3s! After a couple months I decided to try the Sasha Is. I started to notice I would feel drained every time I listened to music. To be honest, during that time I wanted to be part of the Wilson club. I didn't use "my own ears" to decided my preferences. After a while with the Sasha Is, I decided to sell everything and start over. So your comments aren't a true indication of my experience with Wilson's and why I purchased them.

@ricred1 , As you might guess I own a set of the Sophia 1s, have had them for 8 years and really love them but do understand that they aren't everybody's cup of tea, with that said I have heard the Sasha 1s in a couple of set up and really liked what I heard. Also find it telling that after visiting the Wilson sound 3 times that you found it necessary to sell everything and start over.

When you're buying stuff to fit in, or be part of a club,  as opposed to listening to components with you own ears, it's easy to understand why I started over. I purchased every Wilson speaker without listening to them on the advice of a friend that was a dealer. You would be shocked at what I paid. I made money when I sold my Sasha Is. So, all in all I didn't loose any money,  but more importantly I started to grow in this hobby. I started to trust my own ears. The great news is it's okay if you love them. I love my Monitor Audio PL 500's! There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences! 

I should add that I'm very lucky to have a very, very good friend that's a dealer. He's different than the guy that sold me the Wilson's. I can listen to components that I want to try in his system or in my own system. That's how I buy components now. I use my ears!

 So, back to the OP's question. My answer is only your can decide what sounds good to you. If possible try to get a home audition. If not, see if it's possible to take your amp to wherever the speakers are located.
