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

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.
