Wilson Sasha Tom Norton Jan 15, 2012 There are specialty manufacturers that make various parts for loudspeaker drivers, and when ordering specialty drivers it is possible for a manufacturer of finished speakers to select the cone, surround, frame, voice-coil, etc. From various sources and have these parts assembled by a finished driver specialist. Wilson Audio Sasha W/P loudspeaker Page 2. All four drivers in the three-way Sasha W/P are proprietary Wilson designs. As with other recent Wilson speakers. Wilson Audio Sasha Loudspeaker (TAS. Have struck me the way Wilson Audio’s Sasha. In the drivers reportedly allowed the Wilson design team to better.

Few names hold as much esteem in the loudspeaker world as. Wilson has a long history of creating some of the finest loudspeakers in the world and their newest model: is the subject of this review. The Sasha W/P replaces the vastly popular and longstanding, which over the years had been through eight different incarnations.

Rather than make a ninth version of the WATT/Puppy, Wilson redesigned the speaker and cabinet so much, they chose to rename it the Sasha W/P, with the W/P honoring the prior models. Retail price for the Sasha W/P is $27,900 a pair, which puts them into a small niche market reserved for die-hard audiophiles and home theater extremists with the funds to not only buy the speakers but the system to match.

The larger Wilson speakers housed the crossover in the bass cabinet, which proved to have sonic benefits; thus the Sasha W/P now has this design trait as well. The seven-inch midrange and one inch inverted dome tweeter are the identical drivers from the larger and are only slightly different than the drivers used in.

The bass cabinet is now larger than the previous WATT/Puppy's, allowing for deeper bass response and to also provide room for the new eight inch woofers' all new magnet and motor assemblies. Like the WATT/Puppy before them, the upper cabinet that houses the tweeter and midrange driver is adjustable to properly time align the speaker for listening height and distance, ensuring the most accurate midrange and high frequency response possible.

The result is a loudspeaker that measures 44 inches tall by 14 inches wide and 21.25 inches deep and weighs a substantial 197 pounds apiece. Even the Sasha W/P's shape is unique and designed to cut down on standing waves. As always Wilson's finish is second to none and the Sasha W/P can be had in virtually any color (at an extra cost) though the standard finishes include Diamond Black, Dark Titanium Metallic, Desert Silver Metallic and Argento Silver Metallic. My review units were finished in Diamond Black and looked absolutely stunning. This technological trickle down from Wilson's costlier designs leads to a Sasha W/P that is 91 dB efficient into four Ohms. The Sasha W/P does drop down to a low impedance of 1.8 Ohms at 92Hz so they will require a solid amplifier capable of handling low resistance loads.

Frequency response is 20-22kHz, plus or minus three dB. The Hookup Wilson has a system called WASP for Wilson Audio Setup Procedure that is designed to quickly find the best place in your room for your speakers. The technique is pretty simple and highly effective. You start out with your back against the front wall of your room and speaking in a moderately loud voice at a constant volume you slowly walk off the wall and note the changes in the sound of your voice as it transitions from the bass heavy accentuation from the front wall to finally the reflective echo off the opposite wall and mark the area between the two extremes. You then repeat this from the sidewalls and mark off the similar zone.

This is the best place to begin positioning your speakers, and was exactly where I have historically found speakers to work best in my room so I started there. Ultimately the Sasha W/Ps ended up two and a half feet off the wall and six feet apart and toed in to directly face my primary listening position. From the specifications you can easily see this is a heavy and complex speaker system, one that arrived in four large wooden crates and a cardboard box - just in case there was any doubt. The two largest crates housed the bass cabinets of the Sasha W/Ps.
