No have never heard them! But I love the sound of the Sabrina's. My understanding is that the Yvettes have a very similar sonic signature to the Sabrinas but just more of everything - more weight, more slam etc. I also love the aesthetics of the Yvette and overall design. I have a fantastic dealer who is giving me a full no risk guarantee if I don't end up liking how they sound in my room.

Andrew, thats a great dealer to have.
And i have heard the Sabrina-Yvette and Sasha 2, they are all great speakers....and yes its hard to evaluate from a shorter listen but i think your right that they give more of everything , and so do the Sasha 2 also.

I've been very impressed with the number of rooms into which we have been able to place Yvette and get great sound. I'm sure your dealer will not be taking the Yvettes out of your house. Congrats!

Thanks all I am definitely excited! Wondering if I could get any thoughts/recommendations on ic's and sc that would pair well with the Mac 601 and Yvette combination? I don't want to go crazy on cables budget-wise, but I want something respectable that would be equivalent in price/performance ratio to where Yvette stands on the overall Wilson product line. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Transparent ultra seems about right for the gear. Reference if you can afford it. I don't know what your price range is.

TA cables are the most commonly seen with Wilson speakers. Dave Wilson uses TA himself when voicing. He may use Nordost too.

Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 sounds great over here.
Enjoy!

Thanks all for your suggestions on cables for the Yvette. I have always liked the look and sound of Nordost Cables. Based on my overall budget, I'm thinking about going with Nordost Frey 2 for both SC and ICs. Anyone here have any experience with the Frey 2 and how they might pair with Wilson products?
