Wilson Sasha Series-2 Loudspeaker Review

The Wilson Sasha Series-2 Loudspeaker featured in a home. Note the lack of cable. Ah, the cable is Transparent!

The Wilson Sasha is what is known as a free range loudspeaker (20 Hz – 27 kHz +/- 3 dB), essentially. You will find it far exceeds the performance of it's predecessor - or antecedent. To say it is a linguist, is a cunning predilection. To say it is fated is a will far in excess of our own.

Now what has Wilson done by picturing it as above, in that home? Look at the cheapness of the couches, the cushions, the coffee table, the bricks. Is anything akin? Nay, the lamp behind. Look at how it hangs on an angle.

We admire the Baron by Duntech.

Baron Piano Black

For purposes of this review, we will talk of the Wilson Sasha Series-2 Loudspeaker.

Note: Free Range: 20 Hz to 30 kHz, essentially.

MAD (Made in England) produced the fine looking Baron.

We will say the Wilson Sasha, however, is a fun range loudspeaker (20 Hz - 22 kHz +/- 3 dB). A bit like Sasha Baren Cohen, in the person. The extra 5 Hz, attributed to the doped tweeter, is spritely you'll see.



Duntech Baron D300

To boogie, let us continue the Baron analogy further, into the Mesa.

Although $3,695.00 it gets us to 150 watter via the pentode.

Would the Sasha pair well with a Baronial Castle? That is the case and analogy.

At $38,000.00 USD (at The Sound Room) it would fit well in your home. At $29,000.00 USD (US List) it is well priced for your modicum home. At $30,000.00 USD, the natural comparison for the Wilson Sasha Series-2 Loudspeaker ($29,000.00 USD) is the KEF Blade.

How about some Sasha Baron Cohen?

You will find it well-headed.

The Wilson Sasha Series-2 is sort of a creeper of a loudspeaker. Although it is fixed, it sort of creeps up on you. At first, you think you will not like it, because it was designed for mastering, in the Watt Puppy, has separate head, and then it reminds you of the Fidelity Acoustics RFM-3.

It is essentially a stereo loudspeaker designed well-enough for hi-fi. 60 kHz is essentially missing in the response to call it Top Stuff. It is however, a Recommended Component.

Are we calling it Borat?

As loudspeakers go, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Should you get two, we recommend you get five ($150,000.00 USD). This would be 1/2 of a piano and a fine price for a home theater. Can you power it with a $1000 amplifier? We will get to that next.

Should you get two, we recommend Analogue Domain. Should you get five, there is nothing wrong with that. The Apollo would do well.

For the tubey aficionado, the PrimaLuna ProLogue Six ($2000.00 USD / pair) at 70 watts would do fine - though of the sound, we can not say.

It's wonderful how we raise the price of the loudspeaker by $1000 by including amplification. I appologize. A Devialet 100 watter would do fine as well.

The Wilson Sasha Series-2 allows for a bare minimum of a 20 watts on tap so may we say, not to belabor a too fine point that 92 was neither a bad year, nor a bad sensitivity. It is good on the Sasha.

Cables may be of free use. Transparent would do well.

You may find that you come to like the Wilson Watt Puppy (Sasha) slowly, as we have done as well.

A man who wears a sash may not be a baron, but one who buys a Wilson Sasha may be warm to the pleasures of High Fidelity.
