Sasha W/P Loudspeaker

For the past 23 years, no product represented the soul and history of Wilson Audio more than the WATT/Puppy. With well over 15,000 units sold since its inception, its place in the pantheon of great audio products is assured. Martin Colloms described the WATT in his landmark book, HIGH PERFORMANCE LOUDSPEAKERS, as the perfect enclosure. Its distinctive pyramidal shape has inspired numerous imitators.

Throughout its evolution, the WATT was always a self-contained, two-way loudspeaker. It had its own crossover; the WATT always had the capability of being removed from the Puppy and operated on its own. MAXX and Alexandria, meanwhile, were multi-cabinet loudspeakers that integrated drivers through crossover modules mounted in the bass cabinet, a design strategy that has many proven sonic benefits. The WATT/Puppy platform itself became the obstacle to fully leveraging the latest advances in cabinet materials, crossover design, and proprietary driver design. Sasha makes all of those things possible, while maintaining the central position in the Wilson product line held by its illustrious predecessor.

Sasha Facts At a Glance

*Both the new midrange/tweeter module and the bass cabinet have greater volume than W/P System 8.

*The larger bass enclosure results in a 2Hz greater extension in the bass, and less congestion in the upper bass.

*Increased volume in the upper module allows a new bracing architecture and sidewall construction for greater rigidity and lower resonance.

*Sasha’s upper module utilizes Wilson’s newest proprietary cabinet material for its baffle, resulting in a lower noise floor and greater transparency in the critical midrange.

*By removing the crossover from the upper module, less midrange energy is reflected through the midrange driver cone, again improving clarity and transparency.

*Sasha incorporates both the 7” midrange driver and the tweeter from MAXX Series 3.

*Sasha’s woofers utilize a new motor/magnet assembly with more magnetic force for the same cone mass resulting in improved dynamics and acceleration in the bass region.

*The crossover is housed in the bass module, with resistor access on a rear panel. Custom wiring, hand-built at Wilson, connects all the drivers.
