Sophia II and III were happy in similar "volume" rooms if not the same layout in my previous homes. You should be good.

+1 with Charles, I use my ALEXIA's with 1,2KW on 4 ohms taps and can't be happier. Every Wilson Audio speaker I listened to, from Duette's to Alexandria's, gave me goose bumps. Aficionado I am, for sure. |

Serge, Thank you for that review of the Sabrina speaker. Much appreciated. I have only heard them once and it was sharing the space with a customer who was auditioning them. I have to go back and listen when the store is empty. Okay now for my second reply. I have a slight disagreement with your statement about the size the rooms. I have a 21'X15' room myself. I was torn between the ability to actually buy Maxx 3"s or go into serious debt trying to buy the Alexandria XLF! I have heard the Alexandria XLF in a huge dealer showroom with obviously more space than your room and also heard the Alexandria X2's in a 23'X15" purpose built room (OBGYN's room). Believe it or not the smaller of the two rooms sounded fantastic. Being driven by SET Lamm monoblocks helps. I even had a long detailed talk with Daryl Wilson before I bought the Maxx 3's and if that was too much speaker compared to my Watt/Puppy 7's. Of course a year later he finished the Alexx and they began shipping. You are absolutely correct about the bigger the better. Just confused why would you would be against them in your room which is huge. Us mere mortals have smaller rooms. I am enclosing photos of both rooms. Now I am suffering from room envy!

Great review Serge. I auditioned the Sabrinas a couple of years ago and was equally impressed with them.

Not really a review, just my observations but thank you Tony. Hard not to be impressed with the Sabrina. It does so many things so well.

I also auditioned a pair of Sabrinas both in store and at home, and I largely concur with your findings. The only thing I'd add is that for rock/blues/jazz, the Sabrinas benefit greatly from the addition of a subwoofer.

Thanks for the review Serge, although your 'mid' review I think adds up to a 3 not a 4 ! |
