![]() ![]() They are built so well and finished to a level which is just faultless, everything about the speakers shout out quality. The Build and finish of the Wilson Audio Sabrina Speakers is the best I have seen on any speaker. This gives a much better result in dynamics and transparency, these are tied in with a reference crossover that is matched for each speaker to levels which are +/- point two percent. With the sloping front baffle of the Sabrina the drivers all sit in uniform and this makes for a tidy array that is designed perfectly so that each transient from each speaker arrives at your ear exactly at the same time. The front baffle and bottom panels are built from Wilson proprietary composite, X-Material. These make them extremely light and fast moving, The 8" woofer is taken from the Alexia and modeled in to fit the Sabrina. The Speakers themselves have the 3 drive units, a 1" Convergent Synergy Tweeter, a 5.75" Mid-range driver made from pulp paper and an 8" Woofer also a paper type cone. So Sabrina's design brief was to focus on pure simplicity and a compact and accessible form factor. This is the same thought for the Sabrina, but at the same time take what is at the pinnacle of Wilson Audio speakers and that is the XLF which is 3 decades of knowledge and trickle down its technology to the Sabrina. The Wilson WATT/Puppy and the Alexandria XLF speakers, Now with the W/P Dave Wilson wanted to design a speaker which was relatively small but could outperform speakers of much larger and more exotic builds but in a compact form. Wilson Audio and Sabrina's design heritage can be best looked at or compared if you look at two different sources from the Wilson Audio History timeline. I am very grateful for his input which helped me understand more about the ethos behind Wilson Audio and why it makes them such a great company to deal with. ![]() So I contacted Daryl Wilson who had a massive input into the build of the Sabrina, He was very obliging and sent me a few lengthy emails for me to digest, They went into detail of how the Wilson Audio Sabrina came about and to fruition. When I first found out that I would be reviewing the Sabrina speakers I wanted to get as much info as I could. The Alexandria XLF is more than double its size and weight, so building a speaker that embodies the same qualities as its older sisters is something that Wilson Audio took on board with a clean sheet design but at the same time took all the elements of what makes its other speakers great and trickled these down to the Sabrina. ![]() Wilson Audio Sabrina Speaker is the baby speaker in the Wilson Audio library of speakers, compared to its siblings it is quite small in stature as well. ![]()
