Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina

Let me clarify a bit as to what I am looking for. Currently I have no issue with room nodes with my Wilson Sabrina. With the eq. on my Luxman preamp and adequate treatment with GIK 244 panels (and an Indian brand of tri traps type bass trap placed at the front ceiling) and current speaker placement, I am happy with the speakers with 99% of room node issues resolved. However the speakers are 5 years old, and I want to move on to a different sound, and am looking for sealed speakers in the $15-$20k range. In my research I have found only YG and Magico designing sealed floor standers. Hence was requesting if anyone tried the YG peaks series as they are available locally.  TIA.

Cheers,

Sid

During my backpacking days (many decades ago) in your country as a youth in search of truth, I stumbled upon a very old temple..Enormous structural stone pillars carved out of solid rock that played do re mi fa.... if you tapped on em (mind boggling). The ancient inhabitants of that land seemed to know something about Acoustics and some related matters that modern man has lost forever possibly.

Audiophiles are very scared of basic construction/remodeling in general. When the spouse is visiting the in-laws, just get a contractor, tear a wall and convert the 14 ft to 20 ft. The sonics can go up a notch from there.

I have had YG Carmel 1s, Kipod Signature passive and Hailey Reference 2.2s.

The last is.of course the best. but too big for your room.

I wasn't impressed by the YG Peak series at Munich a couple of years ago. Have you considered a pair of used Carmel 2s. Plenty for sale and very good sound .

Should be very good in your room, particularly as it is a sealed box design

@barry2013, thanks, I will look into Carmel2. Very difficult to find used in India, and if one imports the cost of shipment plus customs will make it close to new.

Cheers,

My room is 11.5 x 11.5 x 9.5.  I have the Sabrina X’s about 2 ft from the front wall and 3 from each side.  no room treatments.  They are powered by a Pass 250.8, with an ARC REF 6 pre and an MSB Discrete DAC and Premier power base, a REL S/510 and a full loom of Shunyata Alpha V1 cables.  In my small listening room, they sound fantastic and I have no interest in replacing them.

Before you get upgrade-itis for new speakers, I would work with the room first, and maybe consider the Sabrina X’s, since you like your Wilsons, if you must get new speakers.  If you are looking for a new sound, there are a ton of choices in your price range.  Check out the Joseph Audio Perspectives . . . Very easy placement and sound great too.
