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?

I have heard both in depth the New Sabrina X is a major step up to. Th3 older Sabrina ,using their best tweeter used in Their top speaker , and same woofer as the Shasha Daw , the midrange is a wood pulp , the Xover is much better then the Magico they use the cheaper Mundorf white Evo caps , vs the custom Rel caps they bought the company and far better quality ,and they use their Xcabinet material throughout ,which is very dense and absorbs vibration 

they will play to a solid 30 hz ,the Magico is more analytical a bit harder to match equipment with ,a bit more sensitive , it’s about taste both are excellent .

personally the Magico A5 is far better then the 3 , 

the Sonus Faber Serafino  G2. Is a great new speaker to watch out for $26k retail 

the best looking speaker I have seen ,and it is better in every way vs the last model 

that’s says a lot.   I will be checking them out soon 

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)

Wow, replacing Sasha DAW? I DREAM of these speakers!! Why selling them, I’m curious about this. Switching seems a radical step in sound change, no?

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).

I have the Sabrina X’s powered by the Pass Labs 250.8.  The Pass gives them all of the power that they need and mine sound both detailed and dynamic.  Remember, what any speaker sounds like is also dependent on the rest of the system and cabling, AND room placement/room treatment.  With a bad room, great speakers can sound much less than their potential.  Because of my room size (11x11) I don’t have a lot of choices for speaker placement, but with the proper equipment, the Wilsons are stellar in my system.  They do need some power though.  My PrimaLuna Dialogue Premier HP tube amp could drive them adequately, but the Pass makes them sing.
