Not knowing whether or not the OP has taken delivery of the Sabrina X's, if bass is a concern Yvettes might address the issue and lessen the hunger for subs in a cost effective way, depending upon one's room, listening predilections, etc. Back in the day, I opted for the Yvettes over the original Sabrinas in part because of bass performance. The OP's MC452 would drive and sound great with either speaker very well, but an MC462 has more 'grip' at the low end. See my 'solution' the question below. For what it is worth.

YMMV.
