Silk dome tweeter like XLF?

[etunes]

Awesome. Look forward to hearing them.

NO! No, Sasha 1 can not be upgraded to Sasha 2. Daryl just confirmed this with me. Sorry, guys!

Bummer...

 

[Ron Party]

Debbie, can you tell us what are the changes, besides the new tweeter, from the Sasha1?

 

[microstrip]

Bummer...

This could be expected - if you change the balance of the tweeter you should make changes in the whole speaker parameters. I was dreaming about an upgrade for the X2, but once I listened with some time to XLF I could understand why it was not possible. The changes were much more than just the treble. So I had to get the Alexia ...

But the XLF had a whole new cabinet. I don't see this in the new Sasha.

Guess it's all speculation at this point!

Bummer...

That's too bad. Seems like it would be easier to pull off with the Sasha vs X-2.2.

I have no more information on the Sasha 2. This was just the "teaser" to the Sasha 2. Full press release, video, and specs will be released mid Dec.

From what I know so far - at least the upper cabinet has changed.

 

[Bruce B]

From what I know so far - at least the upper cabinet has changed.

Well that's better than the whole bottom cabinet like the XLF

 

[Lildebs888]

Well that's better than the whole bottom cabinet like the XLF

According to Daryl, there are changes to both upper and lower cabinets.

 

[DaveyF]

Debby, this was an obvious move....and a good move, IMHO.Pretty soon the whole line??

Agreed. When it comes to the whole line, I don't know. I am left in the dark when it comes to future products.

now I feel old. I remember when there was just the watt, well before the puppy ever existed (preferably stacked on an entec sub) and it seems like it was just yesterday.

The WATT without the Puppy? Yeah, that was more like 30 years ago

I started with the WP 5.1 and the rest was history
