Wilson Audio Sasha V
The Wilson Audio Sasha V, since its introduction in 2009, is the direct descendant of the WATT/Puppy, the longest and most storied loudspeaker in Wilson’s history. It has long represented a “sweet spot” in the balance between technological sophistication and value.
Now, the Sasha V becomes the latest in Wilson Audio’s line of floor-standing loudspeakers to earn the V moniker, bringing technology previously reserved for its higher-priced siblings — Chronosonic XVX, Alexx V, and Alexia V — into a more compact and approachable package.
Design & Engineering – Sasha V Features
Sasha V integrates a wealth of engineering refinements and proprietary technology:
Convergent Synergy (CSC) Tweeter: Originally introduced on the XVX, delivering improved treble clarity, ambient retrieval, and harmonic detail.
QuadraMag Alnico Midrange Driver: Sets a new standard in midrange accuracy and transparency.
AudioCapX-WA™ Capacitors: Custom-wound in-house at Wilson Audio’s capacitor division for superior signal integrity.
V-Material Interface: Proprietary composite between upper and lower cabinets that reduces vibration and isolates the upper module.
Acoustic Diodes: Part of the new spike system, decoupling the loudspeaker from the floor in multiple directions for tighter, cleaner bass.
X-Material Woofer Cabinet: Side walls 25% thicker to reduce resonances that can muddy sonic details.
Hardware & Installation Enhancements:
External Umbilical Cables: Terminated with Wilson Audio spades as found on XVX, Alexx V, and Alexia V.
Stylized Staircase Alignment Block: Streamlines installation and allows faster time-alignment adjustments.
Upper Module Two-Position Front Spike Track: More precise time alignment and adaptability for different listening positions.
V-Cable Internal Wiring: Ensures continuity of the signal from main input to all drivers.
Custom Cable Grip Hardware: Designed to work with V-Cable, maintaining woofer cabinet sealing and cable management regardless of upper module alignment.
These features make Sasha V uniquely capable, combining reference-class performance with a compact footprint ideal for smaller to medium-sized rooms.
Introducing Sasha V
Sonic Performance – Unique to Sasha V
Unlike larger Wilson models such as Alexx V or Chronosonic XVX, Sasha V excels in agility, midrange clarity, and room adaptability:
Vocals: Natural and present, with remarkable tonal purity.
Acoustic Instruments: Micro-dynamics are clear, delivering realistic timbre.
Orchestral Music: Projects scale and depth without requiring large listening rooms.
Low Frequencies: Tight and controlled, giving a sense of full-range bass without overpowering smaller spaces.
Soundstage: Wide, coherent, and well-defined, preserving instrument placement.
Experiencing Sasha V – Model-Specific Listening Notes
Hearing Sasha V in-person demonstrates:
Solo Piano: Each note decays naturally, with perfect clarity.
String Ensembles: Midrange warmth and separation highlight every instrument.
Jazz & Vocals: Instruments and voices feel alive, precise, and musically engaging.
Dynamic Passages: Bass hits cleanly, treble remains airy, and transients are fast but controlled.
