I reckon that you find could very many and varied opinions on speakers, they are such a personal choice. You mention the Wilson Audio Sasha 2's, I would suspect Guillaume is a fan, or otherwise he would not have chosen them as a purchase! I have actually heard the Sasha 2's on a number of occasions, with Devialet amplification. To be honest, I am not super keen on them. However, I can easily see why some people like them, they are incredibly competent speakers, in fact I would find it very difficult to criticise them in any areas. Having said that, I prefer the KEF Blade, so I guess that's why I chose to purchase the KEF Blade. One point I would make is that I have also spent some time with the B&W 800 Diamonds, these too are very competent, but head to head with the Sasha 2's, I'd take the Sasha's, a far more enjoyable listen in my view. There are also just so many speaker options out there. Once I listened to some Quad ELS 2912's in a very carefully set up demonstration, this sticks in my memory as one of the very best things I have ever heard, but with my taste in music / volume / palpable bass, they just wouldn't work. For others, they could be utterly unbeatable. But having written all this, it is really nothing other than the view of one person, other views will be different, the one that matters is your own, and that will take at least a few dealer auditions to establish. Happy hunting!
