| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @soix I completely understand what you're saying. First, I'm no audiophile. I don't know exactly what I like until I hear it. Also, I'm learning to be a little frustrated with some auditions. It's clear that some folks know exactly what to do ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? The plot thickens a bit. Heard the Sabrinas again (fourth time) at the original audio dealer. They haven't lost anything for me. Also auditioned the Revel PerformaBe F228BE elsewhere. They surprised me (in a good way). Visited Legacy Audio to he... | |
| DAC/Streamers Under 10k - Mytek, PS Audio... @instlouisA day late and a dollar short, that's me. Also, I was referring to the PSA Directstream Memory Player. | |
| DAC/Streamers Under 10k - Mytek, PS Audio... I am new to this, so maybe I misunderstand the question, but I'm surprised to not see the Aurender A10. That gets you the streamer with a built in DAC. Three of the auditions I've had used it and it impressed me greatly.The PS Audio Directstream w... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @prof Reading your description of the desirable properties of the Joseph Audio gets me excited to hear them. My appointment is tomorrow afternoon. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @twoleftears I think I may already know the answer, but I will audition Vandersteen Quattro CTs and Jospeh Audio Perspectives early this week. I’d like to hear Focal Sopra 2s and I wish I’d had a better audition of DeVore 0/96s. The Sabrinas just ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @curiosjimVisited Mike Kaye at Audio Archon to hear the Tekton Double Impact SE. Listened to the Magicos with Jamie Pauls at F1 Audio. Auditioned the Wilson Sabrinas with David Weintraub and Mick Survance at Quintessence Audio. Drove a little out ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @prof This disappoints me. The 0/96 were a mere 5' apart and the hot seat was about 5' away from them. I knew it as soon as I took a seat, but that was all this room would allow. Your response makes me feel like I should find a way to give them ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @prof I wanted to love them. I purposely saved them for last. I am drawn to their look and finish. Partially my fault, it wasn’t a great audition. I didn’t bring any music. I had been relying on Tidal to stream and this showroom was located where ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? Several have asked about the Tekton Double Impact SE and while I don't feel qualified to answer this in the appropriate way, I'll just do what I can . . . . . I had a lot of anticipation to hear them, so I heard them first. They were paired with ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @helomech - Chicago and just east of St. Louis in Illinois. It was a road trip with some audio adventure mixed in. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? Thank you all for your responses. Scheduled an audition to hear the Vandersteen Quattro CTs again. The dealer also has the Joseph Audio Perspectives, and encouraged me to hear them as well. Also going to make another trip to hear the Sabrina’s aga... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @cedargrover - Vandersteen are one of the few brands that I can hear here in Kansas City. Listened to the Quatro CT very early on in this process. You're right, I need to hear them again now that I better know what I think I am seeking. Great s... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? Martin - you nailed it with the S1 bass response. We stepped up to the S3 to get something closer in response to the Sabrina. I am not an audiophile, nor will I probably ever be, but the Sabrinas were warmer, richer, and fuller, yet more defined... | |
| Need power amp recommendations for system I am now leaning towards the monoblocks. This is an attempt to future proof my system incase I want to change loudspeakers. I have my eye on a P20, but I might settle for the Audioquest Niagara 5000 for now. I can't say it enough, but thank you... |
