If you like Sabrina's then you should like Vandersteen.
Unlike Wilson, Vandersteen's are time and phase aligned and are very easy to drive.
The Pass amp mentioned offers a lot more power than conventional amps-Mr. Pass usually underrates them.
Wilson's are known to be difficult to drive speakers (though newer models seem to be less so).
I just looked at the specs and Wilson recommends 50 wpc. which seems reasonable. I think any speaker you get will need at least that amount.
The more power available, the more headroom for transients and little things that give music its' 'sparkle'.
From what you posted, I would also look into room treatment.
Glass is one of the worst things for music-highly reflective.
My 2 cents...
Look at lots of different speakers and find the characteristics you like.
Then narrow it down and make a decision.
After that, deciding on amps, preamps and sources will fall into place.
Lastly, where are you located? Any dealers near you?
