Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina

A further comment, I owned Vandersteen 2ci speakers for 20+ years and they sounded excellent on Classical, Jazz, and Rock.  I was powering it at the time with a Classe 10 amp and Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp.  As I have heard every Vandersteen John Rutan at Audio Connections had  last year, I would lean towards Vandersteen.  That Kind of up front Wilson sound is great at first, but over time would irritate the Hell out of me.

+1 stereo5. But maybe you should listen to a few others. When spending that kind of cash, many choices out there.

+1 stereo5 and tomic601  stereo5 your quote "That Kind of up front Wilson sound is great at first, but over time would irritate the Hell out of me." is what I was tempted to say but then there are many listeners who like that more "upfront" perspective".  For me, in my limited experience listening through Wilsons, they do wear on you the longer you listen.  Vandersteen's offerings have that plane of the speakers and behind soundscape that invites you into listen.

Tomic's comment about the powered and equalized bass from the Quatros is a great selling point!

Best of luck making the choice that is right for you.

Sorry to add to the Vandersteen recommendations, but I, too, think the Vandersteen's are superior to the Wilson's. Make no mistake, I listened to a pair of Sabrina's and was very impressed, but Mr. V. has been around a long time, answers questions personally and builds his speakers to last.
I own the Treo's(non-CT), and love them. If I could afford the Quattro CT's, I'd get them in a heartbeat.

BTW, not that it matters but I have Magnepan MMGs in one audio system and Vandersteen 2ce Sig II speakers in my other system. I am a fan of Vandersteen but one has to choose speakers for themselves.
I know the Quatro CT speakers have a tremendous following. Perhaps one day I will own a pair!
