+1 on Krell. Read the stereophile review by Jason Serinus. I heard that set up on his system, and it was very impressive.
Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's
HI audio friends,
Considering decluttering my main system and moving from pre and power to a high end integrated. I currently have the Coda Continuum power amp, LTA reference 2 preamp, hifi rose streamer and Wilson Sabrina's.
Cabling, set up and all the tedium of pre and power feels unnecessary when i consider some of the excellent integrated options available. I have always been impressed by BAT engineering and their vk 80i has had some great reviews, but I don't think the 55w is enough for the wilsons. The vk 3500 would definitely have enough grunt, but i'm curious what everyone thinks and am open to other options.
Thoughts?

I realize this Vitus integrated is more than your desired price, but it’s about half its list price and may be a bit negotiable and should deliver just what you’re looking for. |
Tweeters on the older Wilson models and on the Sabrinas are very different. Ultimately, home audition is a must. And unless it is possible or a decent return policy is in place, go used. You don’t want to drop this kind of dough blind buying a new component, end up not liking it and getting hosed on a resale. |
I own a Gryphon Diablo 300 with Rockport speakers. It is not edgy in any way and I can absolutely say it is worth finding somewhere to audition one if possible. On the other hand a good friend has recently changed his system to a pair of Wilson Sabrina X and the Krell300i. This is an excellent combination and I have really enjoyed my time listening to his system. |
