Default Sabrina in relatively small room?

My room is relatively small at 12'x15.5' with 9.5' ceiling.
Any thoughts on how it would fair in this sized environment.
My dealer will deliver and set them up for a few days to allow me to see if they are a good fit prior to purchase, but want to do my homework first so I don't end up wasting anyone's time of course. Any thoughts?

Based on what I heard in a small room the Sabrina's were being demonstrated at RMAF I would say they would work very well in your room.

Yep. Will work very well. I have Sophia 3 speakers in a room smaller than yours with no ill effects. My dealer was impressed with Sabrina at RMAF this weekend.

I finally got across town to hear the Sabrinas. Mac gear was used: C500 tube and 1.2kW's. Not sure about the source but it was Mac. Sound was great. Totally seamless. I paid particular attention to the treble for that soft sound of a soft dome. It wasn't there. Treble was superb. Couldn't be faulted in any way. I couldn't evaluate the bass because the music had little bass content. But the midrange and treble were superb. I suspect those 1.2 kW's had a lot to do with the sound.

I'm pumped!
Cannot wait for them to arrive.
The waiting is always the toughest part.
Supposedly Wilson is a bit backordered on Sabrina. Not horribly, but it is taking a couple of weeks currently.
Very anxious to get them here and setup. I ordered mine in Obsidian Black.
