Wilson
Sasha W/P Speakers


Krell S-300i Amp












For the past 23 years, no product represented the soul and history of Wilson Audio more than the WATT/Puppy. With well over 15,000 units sold since its inception, its place in the pantheon of great audio products is assured. Martin Colloms described the WATT in his landmark book, HIGH PERFORMANCE LOUDSPEAKERS, as the perfect enclosure. Its distinctive pyramidal shape has inspired numerous imitators.

Throughout its evolution, the WATT was always a self-contained, two-way loudspeaker. It had its own crossover; the WATT always had the capability of being removed from the Puppy and operated on its own. MAXX and Alexandria, meanwhile, were multi-cabinet loudspeakers that integrated drivers through crossover modules mounted in the bass cabinet, a design strategy that has many proven sonic benefits. The WATT/Puppy platform itself became the obstacle to fully leveraging the latest advances in cabinet materials, crossover design, and proprietary driver design. Sasha makes all of those things possible, while maintaining the central position in the Wilson product line held by its illustrious predecessor.

Sasha Specs:
  • Both the new midrange/tweeter module and the bass cabinet have greater volume than W/P System 8.
  • The larger bass enclosure results in a 2Hz greater extension in the bass, and less congestion in the upper bass. Increased volume in the upper module allows a new bracing architecture and sidewall construction for greater rigidity and lower resonance.
  • Sasha's upper module utilizes Wilson's newest proprietary cabinet material for its baffle, resulting in a lower noise floor and greater transparency in the critical midrange.
  • By removing the crossover from the upper module, less midrange energy is reflected through the midrange driver cone, again improving clarity and transparency.
  • Sasha incorporates both the 7" midrange driver and the tweeter from MAXX Series 3.
  • Sasha's woofers utilize a new motor/magnet assembly with more magnetic force for the same cone mass resulting in improved dynamics and acceleration in the bass region.
  • The crossover is housed in the bass module, with resistor access on a rear panel. Custom wiring, hand-built at Wilson, connects all the drivers.

B&W
Panorama

 Krell S-300i Amp

Bring the excitement of cinema-like surround sound to your living room with Panorama - the best TV sound bar money can buy. Easy to install, and simple to connect to a whole range of home entertainment devices, Panorama will transform your TV into a powerful home theatre system, making movies, music and games sound better than ever before. And all from just one streamlined speaker.

The human ear is very sensitive to speech and the spoken word, and through a home theatre system this information is all sent through the centre channel. With Panorama, we have built in a dedicated centre channel so that you can experience the full engaging nature of movie dialogue.Utilising traditional B&W technologies such as a 1in aluminium domed Nautilus™ tapered tube tweeter, 1st order filter technology and two woven glass fibre midrange units, Panorama takes the dedicated signal from a 5.1 data stream and reproduces it exactly as it should be - pure and as the director intended.

Panorama is a complete soundbar in every way. That means there is no need for an external subwoofer thanks to the clever use of materials, technology and over four decades of engineering know-how. To generate the powerful bass needed for movie effects, Panorama's twin internal subwoofers are driven actively by a dedicated 50W amplifier. Designed to act like pistons, the cones are capable of extending bass levels to 40Hz and below. Flowports™ help reduce air turbulence noises caused by the air velocity in the ports generated by bass units. Panorama's flowports are longer than is usually possible for a speaker of this limited volume; this allows for the remarkably low frequency bass tuning.

The built-in speakers in LCD and plasma TVs don't get close to conveying the richness of movie sound in the way we're meant to hear it. So even with the best image quality in the world, we're only getting half the picture. The Panorama sound bar fills in the gap, bringing true home theatre, multi-channel surround sound to your TV. With Panorama, you'll be experiencing all the power and complexity of movie sound in glorious, lifelike detail. In other words, your TV will sound as good as it looks.
