Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW

Hard to drive, needs good current, but still need that Class-A sound to keep the upper-mids and highs in check.
Just made for Gryphon amplification, especially the Antillion/Mephisto/Diablo300/120, and Essence if you don’t want to go too loud.

As tested: The SabrinaX has an EPDR of less than 2 ohms between 65Hz and 275Hz, with a minimum value of 1.1 ohms at 90Hz, where music can have high energy. The partnering amplifier needs to be capable of driving 2 ohms without stress.

WOW...his room sucks! If you’re going to make your living as a reviewer, first n foremost get the room acoustics in order.  

If you can't afford the Wilson Alexx V or XVX's... this is your lucky day !

I've just bought some SabrinaX's which I've paired with a Gryphon Diablo 300 amp.  The combination seems to work really nicely for me.  My dealer Janson from Audio Connection set it all up with pretty quick speaker positioning.  I'm probably up to about 200 hours so far, so it's still bedding in

I heard the Sabrina X's a few weeks ago. It is a significant upgrade over the prior model. However, I think it will need an amp with some serious current capability upstream. The amp I heard with the pairing was an ok match, but I could tell that it really wasn't happy driving these babies. This amp was a good tube amp with about a 60 watt/ch output. These new Sabrina X's probably need at least 300 watts/ch..and perhaps even more! I suspect that the days of driving the Wilson speakers with amps that are bordering on flea output are now long gone.
