Just as master wood carvers, carpenters, architects, granite installers and landscapers came together to create a home of unmatched quality, the Wilson Audio WAMM brings together material experts combined with skilled, experienced acoustical engineers to craft loudspeakers of unmatched artistry and sound.

The pleather pads are thick and sumptuous, giving the head a welcome feel that does tend to get a bit hot in warmer weather.

The pads can easily be removed the “old-fashioned” way, while replacing them can be the bane of my existence, along with pulling Spotted Knapweed where I live. If a headphone has those “traditional” slots for pad exchange, I am loath to change pads. Ever.

Kiwi Ears must have read my mind, making a twist-off plastic ring, which can then be fed into the back of each pad. Switching to the velour pads took only a minute for a proper fit.

The depth and layering are quite nice however, and if your headphone is up for it, that will show. The mids are nicely spacious and airy, and the presentation is very natural.

Vocals here are soft and they blend in perfectly in the mids, not being pushed forward on the stage. The treble region also is soft and void of sharpness.

It’s a very safely tuned upper region that won’t be offensive to anyone. In fact it might even be too soft for some of you, but it does perfectly match the amp’s tuning.

The bass section reaches down low, with a bit of sub rumble but it is mostly about body and weight. Bass isn’t the fastest or most detailed, layered. The Quantity here is more important.

Give the Sabrina Vs a chill-down with the gentle beats of Azimuth’s ‘Last Summer In Rio’ [Marca Passo; Far Out Recordings download], and they reward with a gorgeously rich and detailed sound. Here the bass and drums were crisp, tight and powerful, with the guitars and keys soaring eloquently above them – ideal listening during the heatwave at the time of writing.

The speedy, extended sound of the Sabrina Vs dovetailed well with the vocals and harmonies of the Eurythmics’ ‘There Must Be An Angel’, from the 2018 edition of Be Yourself Tonight [Sony Music download], where Dave Stewart’s multilayered scoring underpins Annie Lennox’s wonderful voice. And their ability to reveal fine production elevated the ‘Mamunia’/‘No Words’/‘Picasso’s Last Words’ sequence from the 50th Anniversary release of Wings’ Band On The Run album [MPL/Apple/Capitol 5543565].

It’s all wonderfully understated musicianship, and the Sabrina Vs, fed from the high-end dCS and Constellation hardware, made it so effortless and yet captivating right through to the distant reprise of ‘Jet’ and those lush strings.

Carrying this heritage into the Hi-Fi world, Swiss manufacturer has designed external power supplies for Nagra’s HD and Reference lines that pushed the boundaries of sonic purity. The Compact PSU proudly continues this tradition—delivering reference-grade performance in a refined, space-efficient design.
