I have the same setup. They haven't even been broken in yet. I think you are selling yourself short if you think that at 250 hours that you have heard what these can do. Once broken in, I don't think you'd be selling them.

 

BTW, there is no difference between a pair that has been upgraded and ones that have been built as SEs from the factory.

I’ve heard these amps with all ARC components and Sonus Faber Stradivari speakers, the best top end on female vocals I’ve ever heard. One of those rare moments you think the singer is in the room, just stunning amps. Rob is a great guy to deal with too.

Perhaps you need to upgrade to the Galileo pre also to get the most out of them??

Possibly, however they do sound wonderful as they are with the REF5se, I might have the "hifi curiosity bug"

very nice amps!

as already mentioned, they haven't been run in yet.

do the sashas need more current?

how is the bass performance? the se's are supposed to have addressed that issue.

 

Bass is deep and full.
They don't break a sweat with the Sashas

Great set up but I guest Sasha love solid states better as I have them before. I would sell  the Wilson and get SF Amati and end game! GLWTS.

This may be true regards optimising synergy....
Sasha with good SS & REF250se with a different speaker
Both will be different presentations, perhaps the sasha should go !!! ? what a crazy hobby
