Sabrina, originally introduced in 2015, was an entirely new size of speaker for Wilson Audio. Its closest antecedent in size was, in fact, the original WATT/Puppy, but here was a brand new single cabinet design borrowing technology from its much larger siblings.
The original Sabrina utilized X-Material only in its baffle and lower spike plate. Befitting the SabrinaX’s name, the outer enclosure is now constructed entirely from X-Material.
The Sabrina X cabinet comes that much closer to the near silent ideal Wilson has relentlessly pursued for decades. The music emerges through Sabrina X from a blacker background. Bass transients and overall clarity are vastly improved. Listeners will hear superior “silence between the notes,” which, among other factors, enhances Sabrina X’s rhythmic timing and pace.
Sabrina X is also a post-Chronosonic XVX product, so it inherited the XVX’s Convergent Synergy Mk.5 tweeter. The 8 inch woofer is the one found in Sasha DAW.
The crossover is another product of Wilson Audio’s in-house capacitor division. Again, based on a proprietary design for the XVX, dubbed Wilson AudioCapX, the crossover is built around a custom version engineered explicitly for the smallest Wilson floorstander.
The new capacitor technology significantly lowers the noise floor to even greater extremes, allowing the listener to hear more detail and resolution.
The new model utilizes the same Wilson designed and manufactured binding post as the XVX.
It is easier to tighten by hand, and also features a banana-plug option. This unique Wilson Audio connector resets the bar for reliability and sonic integrity within high-current connections.
