When I began to focus, I moved the Sabrinas slightly farther away from my listening chair and placed them slightly closer together. Their final position formed a triangle that was a little more isosceles, no longer equilateral. The sonic result was good frequency balance and a soundstage that was a bit more coherent, especially with the speakers toed in a little.Pleased with their positions, I started to experiment with the electronics. My McIntosh C12000 preamplifier allows me to choose solid state or tubed outputs. At first I felt that the Sabrina Vs benefitted from the Mac pre’s solid state circuits, gaining clarity and detail. However, I later found that I preferred the tubed outputs, as I usually do with my WATT/Puppies. Maybe this too was a consequence of the need to wait for the Sabrina Vs to break in. Amplification in my reference rig is the solid state McIntosh MC462, which is specified to deliver 450W into any load.
