New floor stand speakers

Does anybody have experience with the above speakers: Crystal Minimissimo, Magico S1.5, Wilson Sabrina?

I'm currently using Proac Response 4, which sund great but I am now looking for smaller size speakers, provided that sound is not compromised. Stand-mount could work too.

Thanks.

I have been enjoying my new Focal Sopra No2's for about 10 weeks now, very detailed, very musical.
I auditioned the Magico's and Wilson's before selecting the Focal's.
Before auditioning the Magico's the salesman asked me if I prefer "analytic" or "musical" speakers, hadn't thought about it that way, for me "musical" was the choice.
For me both the Magico's and the Wilson's needed to be driven to fairly loud levels to sound their best, and with source that has even the slightest harshness, I tired quickly listening to either of them.
Having said that, I think you have selected some of the best speakers made!  Enjoy your search!

If you like the sound of your Proacs, I think Joseph Audio speakers offer similar sonic traits in terms of musicality, imaging/soundstage, and disappearing in the room.  The Perspectives may be worth a listen if you can find them.  Best of luck. 

I would suggest looking at the Vivid Audio range depending on your budget and room size. Amazed by the V1.5, ordered the B1 and will definitely get the G1 when the wallet permits.

Frankie, i’ve heard the original Crystal Arabesque Mini’s & original Magico S1’s. I’ve also heard the Wilson Alexia’s in a couple of different setups, though not the new Sabrina.

These are all very different speakers. The Crystal Arabesque Mini’s are good sound stagers and disappear in the room. They are quite punchy/dynamic for their size, though I thought the tweeter sounded a bit analytical. However the new Arabesque Minimissimo’s BE dome is supposed to sound sweeter and less analytical, though that shouldn’t be an issue if you’re driving them with tubes. However note bass depth is of course limited being small stand mounts.

The original Magico S1 is a good speaker, but that’s all. I think both the S1 Mk2 and YG Carmel 2 will both be a lot better. No one outside the factory will have heard the S1 Mk2 as they are not due to start delivering until early Feb. I have heard th Carmel 2 and was impressed. Amazing build quality, very nice looks & the new model has better power handling, bass & smoother highs than the original Carmel. The Carmel 2 like other YG models sound very coherent and have good sound staging. But I think the much improved Magico S1 Mk2 should give the Carmel 2 a big run for its money. Of those two models, I would expect the S1 mk2 to sound a bit warmer with jazz and soul & have a bit more top end air/extension. The YG might offer slightly better sound staging. However this is pure speculation at this stage.

I can’t say i’m a fan of Wilson. I found the Alexia’s ported bass design flawed. The bass was punchy, but slow and flabby which smeared the midrange & produced a sound which did not sound tight, accurate or coherent. Though they sound stage well and have a ’live’ sound which I can see appealing to some. The Sabrinas would be worth an audition. I also see Wilson speakers being demo’d a lot with ARC tubes.

You may also want to look at 2nd hand Magico S3’s which are coming up for sale more often. They have good bass & a very open/transparent midrange. If you’re looking for a small form factor, those speakers are also worth considering.
