a deterioration of upper bass quality. You must find the proper balance
of these two factors, but remember, if you are partial to bass response
or air and bloom, do not overcompensate your adjustments to maximize
these effects. Overcompensated systems are sometimes pleasing in the
short-term, but long-term satisfaction is always achieved through proper
balance.
To make correct in-home set up of the Sasha DAW possible without
test equipment, Wilson Audio has measured the correct geometric time
domain alignment for different distance/ear height combinations. See the
next section for details. By measuring the distance from the bottom-front
baffle of your speaker to your ear when seated in the listening position,
as well as height of the listener’s ear measured from the floor, you will be
able to align the system for your listening position.
The Sasha DAW is designed for maximum phase coherence and
pulse replication accuracy when each speaker is aimed directly at the
listener. Thus, Sasha DAW should be “toed in.” In other words, the lis-
tener, when seated in the listening position looking forward with his/her
head in a rested position, should just barely see the surface of the inner
side of each Sasha DAW. Toeing in the speakers provides meaningful
improvements in resolution of low-level detail in the midrange as well as
appreciable improvements in soundstaging performance.
