As you know, the Devialet + Sacha are my dream team ! Let us know your first impressions !
And don't forget to change your signature...!!! ;-)
And the color... Great !!!
Thanks!
First impressions are very positive. It's a much bigger sound/soundstage than the Sophia which is to be expected really. The midrange and treble are a major upgrade on what I had before, much more refined. Vocals are outstanding and have real depth to them. Everything is much more three dimensional now. The bass has so much more texture to it. The Sophias were really good in this regard but the Sashas take it to a new level.
They are definitely going to need a fair bit of running in though but they seem to be getting better all the time so that's a relief!
Interestingly: toggling SAM on and off I don't notice such a big improvement. I'll explore this in greater detail when the speakers have a few more hundred hours on them as I'm trying to run them in gently!
