A Sasha V in a smaller, less costly package? or something else entirely? “These are what I listen to when I want to know what I’ve recorded, Roy Halee told me, standing in front of a pair of the original Wilson WATTs (Wilson Audio Tiny Tots). That’s what I listen to for pleasure,” he added, pointing to the Infinity IRS monoliths dominating his large, vaulted-ceilinged Connecticut listening room. Mark Levinson electronics juiced the WATTs.

Here in Part 4 of her Munich 2025 show report, Julie Mullins is all about @ProJectAudioSys & the wide array of products they had on display in Halle 3, including new X Series turntables, tonearms, cartridges, travel sets & special-edition turntables galore https://t.co/on8GLgzMde https://t.co/Om0eP8Lql4
