I would never, ever, under any conditions assign a percentage number to a system change - for any product. Your % and my % are likely quite different because of what we value/how we listen/ different experiences. I just find percentages more misleading than clarifying. For fun, here's what a couple of the first reviewers had to say about the diodes as an add on. "The new Wilson Acoustic Diode isn’t an optional device; it’s an essential one. It dramatically lowers the noise floor, both boosting dynamics and revealing previously obscured musical details." Jacob Heilbrunn, TAS "The Acoustic Diode is a product of Daryl Wilson's restless audio soul (along with the Pedestal, which continues to impress), but it's also one that builds on his dad's forward-thinking design work and does so in ways that are easy to hear. If you have a pair of speakers you love, from Wilson Audio or especially another maker, a set of Acoustic Diodes is an all-gain refinement to their sound." Mark Mickelson, The Audio Beat You'll enjoy your SabrinaX whichever way you go. You can always add them later - or not. |

I bought the Gaia's only because I thought my wife would freak if she took a close look at the spikes' proximity to "her" wood floor. But I was stunned by the improvement in sound. I'd buy the Diodes or Gaias

My dealer uses a Mimas with the Sabrina X in their store. He told me he sells many packages with combination along with a HiFi Rose streamer. I trust his ears and recommendations.

I saw your thread looking for SabrinaX. SabrinaX is an amazing speakers for what it is designed for. I have relative small room (12' x 16' x 11'h) and SabrinaX works great. The problem with Wilson Audio, once you are hooked, you may want to climb up the ladder - which is my case, . I recently traded my SabrinaX (just a little over 1 year old in Quarts) for Sasha DAW via Sound Sanctuary Austin. Letting you know in case you are interested in lightly used pair. If you are, ping Glenn (the owner) for more info, he is a terrific person to work with and I am sure he can provide some type of warranty for it. |
