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

@sidvee My room is almost exactly the same dimensions as yours. My room has no treatments none whatsoever as it’s carpeted, extremely little to no echo, enclosed, and pretty well damped on it’s own. I feel extremely fortunate as I have Revel Salon 2 speakers in my room with astonishing results. What makes my Salon 2’s work so well in my smaller room, although they’re pretty darned good sized speakers is that, they have down-firing ports, the bass and tremble are adjustable, so I can dial them up or down if needed. I run my speakers with the bass setting dialed down one notch and the tremble left in the "flat" setting. By the Revel Salon 2’s being so adjustable, it allows me to place them closer to the back, allows for easier placement in the room, bass integrates in the room beautifully and not overwhelm the room. I crave big-time, deep, but musical, tight bass, and the Salon 2’s never disappoint. I’m shocked at how breathtaking the Revel Salon 2 speakers sound in my smaller room. I know the Salon 2’s have been around for a long time, but, man, they’re so incredible sounding, they’ve become my end-game speakers. You’ll find your perfect speaker/amp combination in time. Hang in there. Happy listening.
