Wilson Audio has built on its Chronosonic XVX, Alexx V and Alexia V loudspeakers to launch Sasha V, the highest performing speaker in its Sasha line.
It has used the rear-wave chamber in the Convergent Synergy Carbon (CSC) tweeter included in the Alexx V model, which allows for an extended high-frequency range, smooth linearity, and superior high-frequency harmonic expression. Cohesively integrating this CSC tweeter with the midrange and woofers has improved Sasha V’s overall sound quality.
The fibre rear-wave chamber is constructed by Wilson Audio in- house on a dedicated 3D printer.
Wilson Audio’s 7-in AlNiCo (Aluminum - Nickel - Cobalt) QuadraMag midrange driver - previously only available in the Chronosonic XVX, Alexx V and Alexia V - is also included in the Sasha V.
The upper array baffle includes Wilson Audio's proprietary S-Material. This baffle is composed of a blend of materials that form a highly stable and low resonance coupling surface for the midrange driver.
Sasha V has strategically nested V-Material in the critical interface between the upper module and the top of the woofer cabinet. The material provides uncommon vibration control and upper module isolation, similar to the design philosophy found in the Alexx V and Alexia V.
This proprietary V-Material is also recessed into the Wilson Audio Acoustic Diodes. These purpose-built spikes employ vibration management which clearly expresses the system's dynamics and micro-detail.
The organic flow of lines found throughout Sasha V create a harmonious integration between the lower and upper enclosures, all the while the structural integrity of both the upper and lower modules have been reinforced by the use of milled X-Material internal bracing.
The woofer enclosure side walls, made from solid X-Material, are 25% thicker compared to the Sasha DAW. The increase in dimension of the X-Material fortifies the enclosure, raises density, and is less prone to resonances that can compromise sonic nuances. Even with these enclosure changes, the Sasha V retains its sleek proportions.
Sasha V also features hardware upgrades, including the bespoke Wilson Audio multi-connector binding posts with modified knurling for a cleaner signal path. Installation choices are wider with the choice of either spade or banana plug speaker cables.
The Sasha V resistor mounting hardware has been improved. This sleek carbon fibre back plate and aluminium framed glass cover, similar to Alexia V, now has tool-free, quick-release knurled thumbscrews for the tweeter and midrange resistors which facilitate simple servicing.
The Wilson Audio Sasha V is now available to order, at a UK RRP of £53,998 per pair.
