Does anybody have experience of Sasha driven by Pass Labs xa100.8.
I am considering Xa 100.8 rather than Xa 100.5 as I find lower mid /upper bass hump with Xa30.5.
I have read that .8 series is neutral.
However I like a little warmth in the sound.
I'm using an ARC Ref 5SE with Dan's stereo amp to drive my Alexias.
Several months ago I listened to ARC's GS150 with the REF 10 driving the XLFs, it was very impressive.
A friend has the Ref 6 and GS150s driving the Sashas. Great combination.
cj GAT driving cj teflon premier 8a's or DÁgostino momentum stereo depending on mood swings.

That's a serious listening room - nice!
Shane - is this the same room where you used to have your SF Strads? It looks very different! There was a carpet as i recall? Did you move or re-floor the room...either way, this place looks GREAT!
Thanks Floyd
Hi Lloyd. No, different room. This is the smaller lounge TV room. The larger room I used as the music room sounded like mud, no matter what I did with it. Out of desperation I begged my wife while she was away late last year if I could wheel the Maxx3's into the TV room, just to hear what it sounded like.
Blow me down if it did not sound better - quite a bit in fact. Much to the complaints of my kids, we swapped rooms. Except I still have all my vinyl in the other room. I am still going through discovery as far as tweaks in sound go.
Thankfully, I have an understanding wife.
Hi there ,
I am on to my 3rd pair of Wilson speakers , initially I had Sophia 2's driven by Audio Research VM220 Monoblocs , the monoblocs exhibited vicegrip like control over the Sophia 2's . I then purchased Sophia 3's and an Audio Research Reference 150 , which was a very nice combo , recently I purchased Sasha series Ones however the Reference 150 appears to be struggling to drive the Sashas , especially in the area of bass control etc . Some friends are suggesting the Sashas can give excellent results when driven by the Gryphon Diablo integrated amp , even though this is less costly than the 150/LS27 combo . Can I ask what other Sasha owners are using and what their experience has been with various amps driving the Sashas ? I don't want to buy Ref 250 monoblocs as i can't afford them and in my old(er) age I'm starting to lean towards simplicity and a ' less is more ' mindset . I've always been an ARC kinda guy since my SP8 was purchased in the mid 1980's .....Thanks !
Hi
Does anyone use Vitus amplification with their Wilson speakers?
I have a pair of Alexia's and am looking at solid state Amps to compliment the Thrax Heros and a specially made Cymer Southern Star KT 120's I'm currently using.Regards
Sam
shane - you must have been on your hands and knees to get that room!
