Wilson Audio Sabrina Owners Club
I just finished ordering a set in Galaxy Gray. Didn't want to spend the upgrade price on Titan Red and wanted something different than the fingerprint and dust magnet black. Hated silver and white.

Congratulations! Nice color choice. What are you powering them with?
|
Devialet 200 right now, have the option to add a 200 companion unit to get to 400 a side dual mono if I feel like expanding some day.
|
I've heard a lot about them and their SAM profiles. Do they have one for the Sabrina?

These speakers are on my short list to audition. I know rooms vary, but in general, how far away do they need to be from the rear wall? I doubt my wife would want them sitting way out in the room, so I figure 18" is about as far as I can get away with.

http://www.wilsonaudio.com/pdf/manua...al-sabrina.pdf After your wife watches the dealer spend 4 hours moving the speaker 1/2 inch at time to get the perfect sound she might feel guilty about wanting to move their placement. :yes: Or maybe not. If you get an in home demo, they dealer will set them up where they need to be and if she's not happy with the placement no matter how friggin' awesome they sound I guess you have to look at another speaker. :icon_thumbsdown: |
If I like them enough, and she simply can't deal with their location, perhaps a slight compromise in ultimate quality is in order. It's too bad they aren't on (lockable) casters--that way, I could roll them into the perfect position, then back against the wall when I'm not listening to them.

Just ordered my pair of Sabrina speakers, now for a painful couple weeks of waiting. Will post pics and impressions when they touch down.

I'm driving them with a Classe Sigma SSP and Classe Sigma AMP5. Primary source is a Rega RP6 with Exact2 MM cartridge (turntable is my next upgrade). |
Mine shipped late last week. Now for the painful wait as they go to Vancouver to clear customs first. Ugh!

I think you will be aliright as long as you can get the speakers at least 6 inches in front of your center audio unit. WAF? The unit will mess up your center image otherwise.

I can't believe they think everything pushed back against the wall looks good. Crazy ladies!

Well they are really tight and bright sounding right now, brand new speaker cable as well as I needed spades for them.
I hope I don't piss the neighbors off trying to get these to the dealer demo units sound quality. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1464/...4e42d780_h.jpg |
Grills off please..........please?

Lots of pictures with the grills off on the good old internets. :yes: Here's one: http://static.robbreport.com/sites/d...na-cove-11.jpg |
I am one crazy person that thinks the grills affect the sound. That's why, I had listened to them in person and was very impressed by the sound of such little speakers per say. Amazing sound, enjoy.

Some more light and the grills off as requested.

A little twist to reduce toe-in has done wonders to fill in center image and reduce the top end. Used a hardwood line on the outside spike and my laser measure on the inside speaker edge pointed at my chair to get the toe in exact. Just able to see a sliver of the inside of the speaker now.
Funny how such minor changes to placement can have such a big effect. Crazy! |

My Sabrinas have arrived, I will post impressions when they have had some time to burn in (they already sound stunning...).
In the meantime, here are a few pictures: Attachment 45106 Attachment 45107 Attachment 45108 Attachment 45109 Attachment 45110 Attachment 45111 Attachment 45112 |
Got the Sabrinas at home right now. I have to admit - this is great sounding speaker, that does everything just right. They are beautifully balanced, throw a big and stable soundstage, and sound much bigger than their size may suggest. I think Wilsom nmay have a winner in the sub-$20k category.
