I agree. Sabrina should have high WAF in most any situation IMO.

The Sabrina is really unimposing in real life and should be able to work in pretty much any room. IMO



How about a different room where you have a say?


Sorry, but it should be "... you could have got the Sabrinas."

As Marc points out, there are lots of options out there. Getting your wife engaged in the process will help.
Of course, Tony is 100% spot-on. Boss-girl and I came to the exact same conclusion with the Amati Futuras.

OMG how funny ... my wife says the Wilson's look like McDonalds trash cans ... you know the ones at the end of the drive-thru! I'm trying to decide between Sasha 2's and Martin Logan CLX's with subs ... Luckily my wife doesn't care either way.

You have some furniture in the important speaker to listener triangle, you mention she's still around, get her to help you move the furniture.

My wife says the big ones look like robots or Transformers. The Sabrinas are in my opinion the best looking Wilsons.

Good luck... you deserve them so go for it.
After you've done that, CRACK THE WHIP.

A speaker is a musical instrument, not a piece of furniture or artwork.

She needs to get with the program.
