SabrinaX vs JA Perspective2 Graphene

Another speaker I am smitten on is Gershman Avant Garde. I like small floor standing speakers to fit into a smaller living space.

I was debating which to choose between Gershman Avant Garde and Wilson Puppy. I chose Gershman because of its size and weight. Wilson might have bigger sound, but my listening room is not that large. Gershman would need at least 100W high quality power amp. I have Plinius SA102 (125 Watts) and Quicksilver KT mono (100 Watts), but I feel a bit lack of power from both. More power like 200 Watts would make it more shine.

SabrinaX in a heartbeat. 

I never had connection with B&W speakers sound. They are beauty to look at but the sound never did it for me for some reason.

Big +1.  No emotional connection to the music — just reproduced sound in a clinical fashion.  Not for me, and I’d take JA, Wilson, Usher, Vandersteen, ProAc, or Verity Audio in a heartbeat over B&W.  

I didn’t like the original Sabrina, but do like the X. However $20k now for the speaker isn’t a great bargain. I haven’t heard the JAs outside of shows long time ago and they don’t have a SoCal dealer.
