Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina


I have a small room approx 14'x12'x 8.5' well treated with GIK acoustics panels.  Currently using the Sabrina's (not x).  Considering the Talus from YG acoustics, mainly because it is sealed. and may integrate better. Unfortunately since I am located in India, auditioning is almost next to impossible as dealers only bring in equipment on order - they usually only have the top of the line model for demo.  Would appreciate any feed back.  I love the Sabrina's and the x is a logical choice, but being ported, I am experiencing some room node reinforcements (mitigated somewhat by pulling the speakers forward by 4'), so am considering sealed options. Magico is not sold in India.

TIA - Cheers,

Sid

Just an idea, but have you considered just placing a thicker GIK trap directly behind your speakers, just on the floor, a couple inches from the wall?  Take two from somewhere else and try it.

Leaving a gap between the wall and the trap will allow the trap to better deaden lower frequencies (and actually all frequencies).  This also works with corner traps, btw, which are also an excellent idea.

Another idea is to put a slatted dispersion panel (typically hardwood slats on rubber) on the front wall behind the speakers and also the thicker trap in front of that.  I did this in a literal bomb shelter and it worked wonders.
