His first goal was to preserve Sabrina’s affability and intrinsic listenability. When looking for ways to improve Sabrina, Daryl drew directly from his last project, the Chronosonic XVX.  With those tools in hand, Daryl evolved an already great platform into a loudspeaker with even greater musicality—while at the same time, improving its transient speed, resolution, intimacy, and transparency. Introducing the all-new SabrinaX.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SabrinaX is a ground-up rethinking of the Sabrina, perhaps the most universally loved of Wilson’s small, floor-standing loudspeakers during the last several decades. The original Sabrina attracted a loyal, almost cult-like following. It was a rare combination of traditional Wilson virtues such as musical authority, dynamic resolution, midrange beauty and integrity, and a sense of inherent musical “rightness.” This list of achievements and qualities would be uncommon in any loudspeaker. When considering Sabrina's compact size and relative affordability, it becomes obvious why so many audiophiles and music lovers admire Sabrina.  The design goal with SabrinaX was to preserve the original model's inherent affability, flexibility, and its astonishing technical prowess while, at the same time, elevate its resolution, bass-transient speed, and clarity, and overall resolution and transparency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnclosure\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe original Sabrina utilized X-Material only in its baffle and lower spike plate. Now, the SabrinaX outer enclosure is constructed entirely from X-Material. The SabrinaX cabinet comes that much closer to the near-silent ideal Wilson has systematically pursued for decades.  The music emerges through SabrinaX from a blacker background. Bass transient performance and clarity are vastly improved. Listeners will hear superior “silence between the notes,” which, among other factors, enhance Sabrina’s rhythmic timing and pace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTweeter from the XVX\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe tweeter chosen for SabrinaX is the Convergent Synergy MK5, which Daryl and the team developed initially for the limited-edition WAMM Master\nChronosonic. The MK5 later became an integral part\nof the Chronosonic XVX’s design. The Wilson tweeter combines ultra-low distortion, exquisite micro and\nmacro contrast, and ultra-high resolution, all of which\nare accompanied by a sense of ease, accessibility,\nand supreme musicality. Technically and musically, the\nMK5 is—by a comfortable margin—the most honest\nand engaging tweeter we’ve experienced to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWoofer from the Sasha DAW\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe new 8-inch woofer designed and developed\nfor the Sasha DAW’s bass module now finds a\nhome in the SabrinaX. This state-of-the-art driver\nis installed into an all-new, exceptionally inert\nbass cabinet, which provides the perfect platform\nfor the driver’s intrinsically excellent dynamic\nresolution and transient performance. Together,\nthese elements contribute to a rich and yet ultra-fast midbass, which is, in turn, supported by\nan authoritative bass foundation. SabrinaX’s bass\narticulation, transient speed, and bottom-octave\nextension will demolish any preconceptions about\nthe bass quality and accuracy that such a small\nloudspeaker can produce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAudioCapX\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe first design to benefit from Wilson’s recent integration of capacitor design and manufacturer into the factory in Provo, Utah, was the Chronosonic XVX. Led by engineer Vern Credille, the design team developed a proprietary multi-wound capacitor specifically for the XVX, which the engineers dubbed Wilson AudioCapX-WA. The team took a similar approach with Wilson's smallest floorstander. Now, SabrinaX's crossover benefits from a version of the Wilson AudioCapX specific to its needs. The new capacitor technology significantly lowers the noise floor to even greater extremes, allowing the listener to hear more detail and resolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\nUnlike the plastic items found in many\nhigh-end loudspeakers, Wilson ports have\nalways been heroic. Wilson machine this critical element from a solid billet of 6061-T6\naluminum. Over the years, we've refined\nour port shapes for better performance.\nFor the SabrinaX, a new geometry effectively reduces already low port noise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe new model utilizes the same Wilson designed and -manufactured binding post\nas the XVX. It is easier to tighten by hand,\nand also features a banana-plug option.\nThis unique Wilson Audio connector resets the bar for reliability and sonic integrity within high-current connections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SabrinaX uses the same spike\/diode assembly found in the Chronosonic\nXVX, which increases the mechanical\nimpedance path and improves vibration “draining.” The larger diode also\nenhances the physical presence and\nbeauty of the design.","brand":"Wilson Audio","offers":[{"title":"Wilson Audio SabrinaX (pair) - Satin Crimson","offer_id":57423952216396,"sku":"WILSONSABRINAXCRIMSON","price":12495.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/wilson-audio-sabrinax-floorstanding-speakers-p5984-37764_image.jpg?v=1778611136","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/wilson-audio-sabrinax-loudspeakers","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
