FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WILSON AUDIO INTRODUCES SABRINA
December 24, 2014

Sabrina is Wilson Audio’s newest—and smallest—3way, floor-standing loudspeaker. It stands approximately the same height as the original WATT/Puppy, which, in some respects, is its forebearer.  Back in the late 1980s, Dave Wilson imagined a truly compact loudspeaker that could compete with the multi-cabinet behemoths of the day.

That the WATT/Puppy quickly became the sales leader in over-$10.000 loudspeakers is one measure of how well Dave succeeded in his quest. Over time, however, as the greater goal of pushing the performance envelope of the original platform became paramount, the WATT/Puppy grew in size and complexity, it’s evolution culminating in the Sasha W/P

Concurrently, Wilson Audio was exploring the limits of the possible in loudspeaker design, the current apogee of which is the Alexandria XLF.  The goal was what it always had been: to erase the boundary between live unamplified music, and its reproduction.

Then the question arose: what if we could take everything we’ve learned in three decades of state-of-the-art speaker design, distill it down to its essence, and apply that to a truly compact speaker for the 21st century? Introducing Sabrina.

The goal of simplicity was not license to cut corners in the pursuit of sonic and aesthetic excellence.  The hand-built enclosures are finished and painted to the same exacting standards as every Wilson loudspeaker.

Exhaustive materials research and in-depth testing is nothing new to Wilson Audio.  Therefore, Sabrina’s front baffle is made from Wilson’s costly and proprietary composite X-Material.

The woofer is similar to the 8-inch woofer used in Alexia, and atop the 5-inch midrange driver is a specially adapted version of Wilson Audio’s acclaimed Convergent Synergy Tweeter.

It may be the most diminutive of Wilson Audio’s floor standing loudspeakers, but itis unquestionably part of the Wilson family.
