Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
I'm using a pair of Sasha 2 in a 20' x 26' Room with great results including deep powerful bass. The Sasha 2 represent a much better value (at $20K less) and imo are nicer looking than the similarly sounding Alexia when used in a mid-sized Room th...

Upgrading Pass Labs X2.5 to new XP-10 Preamp.
Jebsmith73: The Sophias are quite efficient, with most of my listening the X250.5 is in Class A mode (meter steady). I'm leaning more towards upgrading into a PASS XA.5 Amplifier(s), in the future. This System is very powerful, detailed and smooth...
