Wilson Audio Celebrates 40 Years!
- Thread starter Lildebs888
- Start date
If you are talking about the female vocalist singing, and at the end was a baby that made an "ooooooooo" sound? That baby was my brother, Daryl, and the female vocalist was my mom.
Curious - at that time Anthony Cordesman reported it was the "infant daughter", I was thinking about you. The truth was now established thirty years later ...

Hehe!! Glad I could help you out
WE HAVE A WINNER!! Our judge, Sheryl Lee Wilson, has ACCEPTED an answer of: "who made the dress". We felt it was close enough to the correct answer of: "where did you get that beautiful dress?" Congratulations to Alan Faulkner (answer submitted on Facebook)!

WEEK 2
Wilson Audio's 40 Years in 52 Weeks Product Spotlight!!
**SASHA W/P Series 1**
Sasha (the product) photographed with Sasha David and Sheryl Lee Wilson's beloved German Shepherd (who sadly passed away Summer of 2013).
Sasha Series 1 is still a current product. Series 2 has been announced, but are still in the final stages of development.
INTERESTING FACTS:
*Wilson Audio started shipping Sasha's in May of 2009
*The year after it's release (2010), Sasha Series 1 received: Stereophile Magazine's Loudspeaker of the Year AND Overall Product of the Year, AudioBeat's Product of the Year, and Stereo Sound's Grand Prix Loudspeaker.
*Sasha W/P (meaning WATT/Puppy) was the next version of WATT/Puppy's. Because of a complete redesign, we felt we should give it a different name while still keeping to it's roots.
*The WATT/Puppy line (including the Sasha) is the largest selling speaker in it's class IN HISTORY!
TRIVIA QUESTION:
The Puppy had a "Cute saying" behind it. The WATT stood for "Wilson Audio Tiny Tot" (Tiny Tots was the name of the Preschool the Wilson Children attended). We named the bass cabinet the "Puppy" because it is "a Tiny Tot's best friend" and/or "little woofers".
Q: What is the "Cute saying" behind the Sasha (being named after the Wilson's beloved dog)?

She was beautiful then, and she remains beautiful today
Which is why I said "is" and not "was."

Debby,
Is it that Sasha is the Russian-language diminutive for Alexandra (inline with Alexandria and Alexia) ?
