The Sasha V loudspeakers stand 120.07 cm tall and weigh 111.13 kg each - relatively compact by Wilson Audio standards. The speakers comprise a two-section modular design with the woofers in the bottom module and the midrange and tweeter in the upper enclosure.

Handcrafted utilising proprietary materials, Sasha V features the Utah-based company’s X-Material, S-Material, and V-Material alongside less mysterious but high-quality elements such as carbon fibre, aerospace-grade aluminium, austenitic stainless steel, not to mention the gold connections throughout the entire signal path.

The Sasha V features a Convergent Synergy Carbon (CSC) tweeter, first used in Wilson’s Alexx V speakers. The manufacturer states that the in-house 3D-printed carbon fibre rear-wave chamber provides extended high-frequency range, smooth linearity, and precise high-frequency harmonic expression.

The midrange is handled by Wilson’s 7-inch AlNiCo (Aluminum – Nickel – Cobalt) QuadraMag driver, designed to provide greater soundstage dimensionality in the midrange frequencies that the human ear is most sensitive to. Previously available in Wilson’s Chronosonic XVX, Alexx V, and Alexia V speakers, the QuadraMag has also become an integral part of the Sasha V.

We are told that milled X-Material is used in Sasha V’s internal bracing, and the side walls of the dual 8-inch woofer’s rear-ported enclosure are made from solid X-Material. Additionally, the upper rear-vented mid/treble module also features X-Material. Wilson Audio tells us that the latest version of X-material is 25% thicker than that used in the Sasha DAW. This increase is said to better fortify the enclosure and raise density, mitigating resonances that compromise performance.

Meanwhile, Sasha V has V-Material slipped between its modules as this promises precise vibration control and provides isolation to the upper module from the bass module, similar to the Alexx V and Alexia V. You’ll also find V-Material used for the Wilson Audio Acoustic Diodes enabling the spiked footers to assist in vibration management resulting in better dynamics and micro-detail retrieval, according to the company.

The upper tweeter and midrange array baffle incorporates Wilson Audio’s proprietary S-Material in a blend of materials that, says Wilson, forms a highly stable and low-resonance coupling surface for the midrange driver. This provides additional support for the QuadraMag midrange.

Sasha V’s crossovers use hand selected and/or hand-made in-house components, including the capacitors, courtesy of Wilson Audio’s in-house capacitor manufacturing department (Reliable Capacitors).

Wilson Audio says that the printed circuit boards used by many other speaker brands compress the sound, so Wilson joins each component with point-to-point connections instead.

Wilson Audio’s Sasha V has a quoted 20 Hz – 32 kHz +/- 3 dB room average frequency response, 88 dB @ 1W @ 1m @ 1k sensitivity and a listed nominal Impedance of 4 ohms / minimum 2.36 ohms @ 82 Hz.

The latest Wilson Audio loudspeaker also benefits from numerous hardware upgrades, including bespoke Wilson Audio multi-connector binding posts with modified knurling for a cleaner signal path, improved resistor mounting hardware with a carbon fibre back plate and aluminium framed glass cover, similar to Alexia V. This features tool-free, quick-release knurled thumbscrews for the tweeter and midrange resistors.

The Wilson Audio Sasha V is now available and sells in Australia (from) $82,995 RRP.
