Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Yvette vs Sabrina (Regular)

Yes, 16x14 is a challenge.  I think most speakers do better 4 or more feet off the front wall, and 3 or more feet off the side walls.    But with focused effort, I think it could work,   Of course it’s an expensive experiment with someone else’s money.  The room issues will be present with any speaker.  

Just for fun, here’s what DAW had to say about Sabrinas.  
 

I had my Yvette with 4 feet from the wall to the back of the speaker, and I had bass traps in the corners and directly behind the speakers on the walls. Don't get me wrong, it sounded lovely. Many would have considered it endgame. But it wasn't getting the openness I thought I would and heard in other shows and compared to some other speakers. I tried positioning for months, and at the end of the day, I traded them in for speakers that were better fitting for the space.

Will it sound bad? Not at all. Will it be endgame in the space? Not at all, either.

My music room is 11x11x11, untreated.  I have Sabrina X's about three feet from the rear wall.  They sound great in my small room, and my dealer urged me to get the Sabrina's for my size room over the Sasha DAW, for what its worth!

Thank you!

Yes, I ended up with the Sabrina X and I love it! :)

@jfandr147 Congrats! Room acoustics and speaker placement are critical with these speakers. Take your time with set up and you will be rewarded.
