I just heard a pair of (new?) Watt Puppies for the first time in years and with the Audio Research VS 115 tube amp and Refence 3 pre-amp, they really sounded good. I think they were fed by the new Classe CD transport. I was quite (pleasanly) surprised and think they may be a candidate for my new theater/listening room.
Audio Research often demonstrates at shows with Wilson speakers, and they always produce a great sound. I've heard a number of Wilson/Audio Research systems, and the two brands seem to work very well with each other. (The Sophia II with the Reference 110 is a particularly great combination.)
These are the first Wilson speakers that I find actually look good (from what I've seen so far). I've always been intrigued by Wilson speakers but their styling hasn't been to my liking. If the price is right, I'm really considering giving the Sasha a serious demo.
Like the Von Schweikert VR-5 Anniversary?
Perhaps Dave Wilson attended another concert, and came to the realization that his Watt Puppies sound nothing like real music. :) :)

More info from Wilson at the Sasha website, read elsewhere it will debut cheaper than the present WP8.
