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 think we are paying a lot for the cabinet and finish for these speakers.  I am sure they both sound fine and look good.  No one here can tell you which is better.  You are the only one who makes the decision.  I suggest you take a look at Legacy Audio.  Many people don’t know them or ignore them.

I had the pleasure of hearing the Wilson Sabrina X again yesterday, Driven by a Nagra ss amp, they truly sang. Fairly large room and well treated, which I think is pretty important to get the most out of any set up. I’m not sure how large a room you need, and how much distance apart the speakers will require, but in this room ( about 15x18) they were able to throw a wide and accurate soundstage. Pretty impressive speaker.

I had the chance to spend more than an hour in front of Sasha DAW the other day. Consistency throughout, generous bass but the right amount, speed and accuracy, what a pleasure. Whatever type of music you throw at them, you're in for a treat, at any volume. Price tag is crazy, and there's not much in the used market, too bad!!

Should i save more and go crazy, or look for cheaper but as good of it ever exists?
