This past weekend, my girlfriend and I attended a presentation on Wilson Audio's new Sabrina loudspeaker. If you like Wilson speakers and are in the market for speakers in the $15K range, you owe it to yourself to hear these.

We heard these on a $2500 Parasound Halo Integrated and the sound was quite good. It filled the room with a non-fatiguing soundstage and a balance that was just fantastic! Bass was quick and DEEEEEP! They sounded right on every genre we heard.

Then, he hooked up the Doshi Audio tube gear and I'll tell you, you felt as if you could touch the music. It was flat out amazing! I think this is the speaker that has made me into a Wilson Believer. I've ALWAYS LOVED the big boys, but always felt it would be hard with all of the poverty in the world to spend that kind of coin on a loudspeaker. Therefore, the Sonus Faber Aida has become (and still is) my lottery loudspeaker. But until my powerball number comes in, I could live with these Wilsons forever.

    Do you live in the Michigan area? Paragon Sight and Sound is where the event was held.

    A couple years ago at RMAF, Wilson had 2 alexia room set ups

    The Doshi was much better synergy than the VTL by far

    Will be looking forward to get my ears on the Sabrinas

    Those Sabrinas definitely look nice with nicely done corners and lines. A little much though at 15K, considering the Sophia 3 were just at 18,900 not too long ago (now at 22K since price increase about 10 months ago).

    Would be interesting in hearing it.
