    What amplification are you using with your Wilson speakers ?

    I have heard Sashas with the Gryphon Integrated amp and the combo was very good . The Gryphon seemed to exhibit better bottom end control than the ARC REf 150 but as I was unfamiliar with other components in the system I can't state this categorically .

    What amplification are you using with your Wilson speakers ?
