What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
I’m in the market for new speaker cables. For what its worth I’ve run Nordost purple flair from my Mcintosh ma12000 (tube/solid state) to my Sabrina X for over a year and I’ve found them to be a good pairing. I never once thought anything sounded... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
1)Does anyone here think Wilson isnt aware of these measurements? 2) Lets assume we all agree that they are.  IMO if 1 and 2 are true, then its intentional, and perhaps for reasons we’ll never be privy to. But the reason could be that flattening...

All good engineering makes certain assumptions about the intended applications and audience for a product. It’s completely valid for Wilson to take the approach they have - for the sound quality they were trying to achieve, the context of the tim... 
Problem with my Rose 150 b
I realize this is an old thread but I’ve been going through a similar issue on and off for about 9 months. I use a Roon Nucleus to stream Tidal through a Rose 150b. If I choose ethernet as the input to the Rose, eventually I get drops and then s... 
TechDAS Reliability vs SME
Just read thru this thread (recently purchased an AFV premium.) I cant believe people are writing it off as a “rehashed” anything, simply because of a model the designer made 40-50 years ago. Thats like saying he spent 50 years frozen in carbonit...

Its funny - I’ve read time and time again about Wilson’s lack of efficiency and low impedance. Hence requiring high quality amps to drive them. And when they are driven by the proper amp most people seem to agree that they sound very good. here’s...

I’m new to this site - is it common practice to be skeptical of someones intentions when they defend Wilson speakers? If thats the case then I should be suspect one. I actually joined the site just to comment on this thread 😂 I felt I had to bec... 
Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked
@willywonka  I’ve heard the same exact feedback about the B&W tweeters from a few others. I also know some people that swear by them.    There must be an element in that high range that affects people differently.   
Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked
I run Sabrina X off a Mcintosh MA12000. They’re a fantastic match. The Sabrina’s blew everything else I compared out of the water. Wilson’s are notoriously dependent upon proper placement. I have never heard anybody who heard my Sabrina’s describ... 
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
I wouldnt look too much into the reviewers comments about the W/P’s being better for jazz and folk than fast paced rock. I listen to mostly rock and I love my Sabrina x’s and have W/Ps on order.  I auditioned them with mostly rock and pop music. ...

My first post - I just joined but I’ve been a reader of this forum. I have Wilson Sabrina X’s with 2024 Watt Puppys ordered. My opinion of this video and his methods of measuring speaker performance aside, my one comment is actually about the t...
