speaker enclosure performance. Through this effort, Wilson pioneered the use of non-
resonant materials, first with the use of mineral-filled acrylic in the Upper Midrange/
Tweeter Module and continuing with the further development of proprietary materials
for X-1 Grand SLAMM and the original WATT/Puppy. Even the best materials are not
suited to all aspects of enclosure construction. Therefore, like all Wilson loudspeakers,
the Sasha W/P is constructed of several exotic materials chosen for their specific per-
formance attributes relevant to different portions of the enclosure.
Sasha W/P is constructed using utlra-low-resonant, high-density, composites which
are then cross-braced to further reduce cabinet resonance. Each of these composites
meets and exceeds the highest of ANSI test standards for its use, while offering very
tight tolerances, high hardness, uniform density, and dimensional stability.
Adhesive
Wilson Audio has conducted exhaustive research into the best adhesives to per-
manently bond our speaker enclosures. This is often an overlooked element crucial to
the proper performance of a loudspeaker. Correct modulus of elasticity, coefficient of
thermal expansion, and natural frequency response are just a few of the important ele-
ments of adhesives.
A highly cross-linked, thermo-set adhesive is used for the construction of the
enclosure. It was also chosen for its excellent bond strength, solvent resistance, hard-
ness, and optimum vibrational characteristics.
Section 5.3 – Depth of Design
Sasha W/P’s compellingly authentic performance and lasting value are achieved
through careful implementation of cutting edge design and engineering and then ex-
ecuted using the highest performance materials. Wilson Audio’s use of proprietary
