Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX

Well, coming down the stretch, I can't find a on this forum comparing these 2 speakers. I listened to the SabrinaX, and found them "flat" somehow, hard to describe. Incredible definition and soundstage, but not much knack/dynamic. So, I'm wondering how they would compare to the Magico A3s that I haven't had a chance to listen to. I would be pairing these with a Pass XA25 which should be sufficient to drive them. Or is my "flat" experience simply unrealistic?

The Wilsons don’t hold a candle to the Magicos, but you need a trained ear to get it. They will not jump on you like some other speakers, but they will be a much better companion for the long run.

Really? And how do you know that? Have you compared them in the same circuit?? Rel caps were always mediocre, and have not changed in decades. Comparing the Sabrina to the A is like comparing a Chevy to a Porsche. True, the A5 is better then the A3 (A friend of mine just replaced his Sasha DAW with an A5)

He visited me too many times and heard the A5 😉
He ordered the new S3 but, in the meantime, bought an A5. The DAW are gone!
And yes, it is a significant change in sound (quality, that is).
