Cool. Absolutely. Sophia 3 replacement. Sweet looking speaker. Guess my Sophia 3 valuation just took a hit.

A blend of technologies from Alexia and Sabrina with what's been learned developing Alexx and WAMM.

Interesting...but Sasha 2 came out between Alexia and Sabrina, so are you just referring to the tweeter? Cabinet bracing?? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I'll give Wilson credit for adapting a new styling that looks less like a amusement park trash can from the fifties.........

This comment (good-natured, I assume) raises a somewhat more serious issue of practical trade offs in the audio showroom. I can readily understand why folks will make different choices based upon personal preferences and desires, and WAF. At Paragon Sight and Sound I had the opportunity audition Sonus Faber speakers against Wilsons (among several). Sonus Faber efforts are usually quite visually striking, to be sure. However, S-Fs appear (to these ears) to compete sonically in ranges at roughly half their price. So, the very appealing furniture aesthetics comes at a significant price, IMHO. Cutting edge speaker manufactures (e.g., Wilson, Magico, etc.) concentrate on engineering and materials selections (proprietary high performance composites, aircraft aluminum, etc.) in efforts to obtain results closer to the ideals of neutrality, speed, superior micro- and macro-dynamics, and minimized coloration. Just listen to a well-done recording of a piano to discern the differences. YMMV.
Happy listening. Bob |
