Sorry, I couldn’t resist being snarky.  I don’t know how you could know but if you’re thinking there’s something not quite right then don’t make the purchase.  @bigshutterbug mentioned some possible red flags.

Check to see if they are still in your house?  
JL Audio Fathom
@rauliruegas you keep saying the same thing over and over without explaining what you mean.  There is also no 1.1ohm impedance in the curve for the Sabrina that I have seen.  Sorry, I'm hijacking this thread and I don't want to do that.  I underst...

@rauliruegas I’m not entirely sure of what you are saying. You mentioned low impedance as a limiting factor that the Mac can’t handle then switched to the autoformers can’t recreate the frequency without some sort of coloration. I have an admitted...

@rauliruegas where does the Sabrina go as low as 1.1 ohms? I’ve seen 2+ but not anything as low as you state. I think the MA8950 would drive them well just as @upstateaudiophile says as it will drive 2,4,8 ohm loads with 200W regardless of which t... 
I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey
When I read this post and saw the Sopra 1 mentioned I thought of recommending the Fritz speakers.  So a third recommendation for them.  I recently listened to the Sopra 1 and it has nothing on the Fritz Rev 7 SEs I have.  The Sopra is certainly a ... 
Dog pissed on speaker
Replace the cone or the entire driver.    
Monitor Audio G4 Gold 100 or Proac Studio125?
I agree with @mofojo keep the ones you like.  I’ve not heard either, but if it were me, I would spend plenty of time listening to both playing all the various music I like, particularly the genre I listen to most often, and see which one suited my... 
Audioholics
Hadn’t heard of Audioholics so I watched a couple of videos.  Guy seems to be very knowledgeable and certainly has a solid background in engineering.  He makes some sense as well talking about cables and interconnects.  However, I recently dropped... 
Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac?
Do you know what bit rate the song you were playing is? 44.1kHz/16bit is CD quality but 44.1kHz/24bit is considered hi-res and would only show as 44.1 on your DAC. Both of your components can be correct in this instance.  
Why don't we tire of music?
Here’s what Google Gemini has to say about it, some things I think most would intuit: There are several reasons why humans find music so captivating and why we enjoy listening to the same songs repeatedly: Emotional Connection: Music has a power... 
Old phones as streaming sources
@lanx0003 I was surprised at how it sounded.  It was much better than I expected given all the shade being thrown around on this thread.  Even though I know it can be bettered, if I had no choice other than streaming from an iPhone, I could certai... 
McIntosh C52 to C53?
I have the DA1 in my MA8900 which I can upgrade to the DA2 module.  It is a nice option but I decided to buy a Denafrips Pontus II and a Hermes DDC.  It is much better than the DA1, but I don’t know if, or by how much it betters the DA2.  If I had... 
Meitner Ma3 Streaming vs Aurender
Sorry @jfrmusic wrong thread!  😁
