Do we have any Wilson Sabrina owners here ? ....

The E-600 should work very well for the kind of music you listen to. The amp is actually more powerfull than the specs sugest. I had no problems driving my Magico S5 with the E-550 and the E-600 is more potent.

Hi fellow Sabrina owners,

I am a proud owner of the galaxy gray Sabrina since Dec 16. Currently using the modwright kwi200 (200w) int amp to push the Sabrina, and is considering to replace the amp with Accuphase E600 class A int amp, conservative power rating is 30w at 8 ohm and 60w at 4 ohm.

Do you think the class A E600 would be a good match with Sabrina， considering I listen to vocal and jazz most of the time, and small percentage of pop, and very very few classical music， at moderate lvl of 70 to 80 dB.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Maybe wait until you receive the speakers? Dec is still a few months away

Cheers

I visited a dealer yesterday , as i would have a listen to the Wilson Sabrina.
Had no idea what to expect at all, as my focus have been on Focal Sopra 2, the dealer who has the Focal although never have a good setup of these so my impressions are really mixed, from is it the streamer not up to the task, is it the room or the amplifier a bit annoying.
But decided to go and give the Sabrina a listen to put peace in my mind.....and oh my , what an experience such a small speaker with such a huge soundstage, really awesome 3 D perspective with the sound....i was amazed and now i have struggle on how on earth am i going to find that amount of money....
But oh my, where they good.

Any financial advisor worth his weight in gold would advice a person against listening to Sabrinas when on a tighter budget. :D
 
Ohh, yeah you are so right :rolleyes:
Somehow i need to figure this out , or hope for a very kind person selling them 2nd hand cheap, he he.
We will se, how that is going to go, by the way i also had the opportunity to listen to the Yvette and Sasha 2....also not bad at all :D
 
The most "musically enjoyable" speaker I have ever owned. Perhaps, it is how they love my Den 13x14x10h. My ears are approximately 8' from the grills. Recent changes I have made that have dramatically improved the sound are the PurePower 1500 power conditioner and the PS Audio Junior DAC.
The only negative is having to turn them off at day's end.:)
 
Oh my God! Howard, I'm soooooo happy to see you again. I hope you are doing well. I really have missed you on the forum. Glad you are back my friend.

Most of the time they live in a system using Moon Neo electronics. The amp is 125w at 8 ohm, 250w at 4 ohm and has no problem keep up. When I first received them I hooked them up to a pair of McIntosh MC-75's for a while. They sounded great, but I felt they were a little light on power. Other amps I have had hooked up include a Ayre VX-5 Twenty and a Parasound A21. Those both did a great Job. I have a few more amps I have been meaning to hook up to them and haven't got the chance yet. These include a Constellation Inspiration, ARC REF-150 and a Moon Evolution 860A. So far I haven't run into any troubles with the amps I have tried. Even the MC-75's could work depending on listening habits. They did sound REALLY good together.

Hi fellas,
I m the happy owner of piano black sabrina since last april, and i cant be more happy.
I had wharfedale diamond,ls50, sf venere 2,5 before sabrina and the jump of sq each time was huge,and this made me aware that, better make good investment in one component at a time rather than upgrade step by step.
What,i mean is invest in the best from the beginning,you will avoid loss of money and frustration .
And this is why am asking you here:
My sabrina is feeded now by devialet 200,200watt into 8ohm and 400 into 4ohm,sq is very good!
I heard the sabrinas with devialet220pro,devialet1000pro,dan d agostino nstream,.
The best sq was from dan d agostino wich is in the same league as devialet1000 pro. At the end of the track " i heard it thru the grape vines" interpreted by forcione ,he tap on the guitar with the hand,and thru the d'ag you feel the sound and you visualize the guitar ,and hear the wood frame of the guitar, i didn t hear the same from dev1000 pro ( the room acoustic and the set wasn t right though).
I think the sabrina like power, but quality power! Hooked to the d ag you can feel all their potential ,to the dev1000 as well ,but i felt i was missing smtg even though i was blown away by the power of the amp.
My wallet doesn't allow me to go the d ag route( my wife neither),but i was wondering wich of these amps will do it for me: arc ref 75 or se if the difference in sq is big ,(7000$ used );use it initially with my devialet200 as pre/dac/streamer then go for arc ref 6 pre and a good dac OR go for primaluna monos (7000$ new)with same route devialet as pre/dac/streamer then Go for primaluna pre and a good dac???
A friend told me arc is way better than primaluna but a reviewer compared primaluna , arc75, ayre vx20 with rowland ss pream for all,and prefered the primaluna.
Though,He stated that none of them convinced him they were the perfect match for sabrina .
Any thoughts are most welcome!
Thks

Hi.

I will tell you my impression as from memory as i did audition the Sabrina with ARC Ref.6 and ARC Ref. 150 played with ARC CD9 , all cabling was NordOst as far as my memory goes it was an really impressive soundstage and tonality you got with that setup , then i also did hear Devialet with the Yvette and that was also a good combo , and here comes the difficult part because from my memory i did clearly prefer the ARC setup , which i also was lucky enough to hear paired with Sasha 2.

Not sure how much you can get from this. And hopefully someone with much better insight than what i have will give you a more clear answer.

Hi thks for the reply.
It s very difficult when you can t audition an equipment to choose wich route you need to head on.
So confusing this hobby and funny at the same time.
The devialet sound very good indeed but can lack some emotion in acoustic and voice tracks, wich might be due to less midrange fat.
The combo of devialet is outstanding value actually, pre /amp/dac/streamer/roon endpoint.
No need for expensive ic , extra pc, etc.....
The arc gsi 75 is almost the same pack and good match for sabs but sooooo uglyyyyy.
I like the idea of all in one super integrated,and the diablo 300 is on my list as well!
I need to trust forumers who own sabrina to pull the trigger!

Well, we have a pair of Sabrinas in the store :)
They're mostly used with the Devialet Expert Pro 1000, to great results, as you can imagine! We alternate between that, a darTZee LHC-208 integrated, as well as the ARC GSi75. Different sounds, for sure!
In your case, I'd go REF 75SE (SE, not regular) if you don't want the GSi75.


cheers,
alex
 
Hi,
Since i can use my dev200 as pre/dac/ streamer , i can go for arc75se initially, then as a second step go for pre ref 5se or ref6. + dac.
Do you think i ll hear the potential of the arc 75se with dev in the chain as pre?
Thks
