Wilson
Sasha W/P Speakers


Krell S-300i Amp












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.

Introducing the New...
NuVision
Lucidium FX5 Series LCD TVs

 NuVision Lucidium FX5 Series

The Lucidium FX5 Series combines proprietary Film Times Five (FX5) and Frame Forward Motion (FFM) technologies to create a true 120Hz picture.

Hollywood shoots motion pictures at a rate of 24 frames per second. Most HDTV's display video at 60 frames per second. When 24fps material is diaplayed on these displays, a mathematical algorithm is required to smooth the jittery motion that occurs when the camera moves. FX5 technology elimiates the need for the pulldown algorithm by simply displaying each fram 5 times on the display - creating an effective rate of 120 frams per second and a true motion picture experience.

NuVision FX5 displays feature unique NiDO IV - FX5 video processing algorithms that fully utilize the capabilities of the NuVision 120HzDCS Deep Black LCD panel. These include:
  • NiDO IV enhanced video processing
  • Signal compatible with 1080p/60 and 1080p/24fps
  • FX5 True 120Hz Video Processing
  • 1080i to 1080p four-field de-interlacing
  • Pixel-by-Pixel detail enhancement
  • Automatic Film Mode Cadence Processing
  • HD/SD Multi-Direction Diagonal Filter

The Lucidium FX5 is surprisingly easy to operate, yet features a range of professional settings which allow you to optimize the display for every input. Features like: selectable color temperature, 4-level adaptive noise reduction settings, an adjustable backlight, and more.

The line spans from TVs 42" to 65" in size.
