Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
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 a... 
Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
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?  
Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
@chrfor : Great comments, thank you! I believe indeed that the Wilson are difficult to match - I’m dropping the idea, though with some regret since they do provide a wonderful soundstage still. I hope to listen to the A5 soon. Als, I’m waiting to ... 
Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
@james633 : The spike in bass is what I'm experiencing with the SabX - @daveyf : Yes, big difference between the Sab1 and the SabX: But still, that same issue with the bass, even though to a much lesser level.@kingbarbuda : Thank you for the info ... 
Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
The notion of impedance is something I have a hard time to understand. In my mind, a lower impedance means a higher output (more dynamics): Am I getting that completely wrong?In other words, If I have a 6 ohm speaker, sensitivity at 91db, then I a... 
Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
I listened today to the Totem Metal 2 - very nice speaker. Also to the Sonus Faber NOva V: Impressive, but most likely need to be well out of back wall. I would think that the Totem Metal V2 are comparable to the SabrinaX to a degree - Anyone with...

It was a a big Boulder class A power amp - Juice was there for sure! I @ironlung, I hear what you;re saying - I just can't find a place to listen to the Magico in the DC area...There are some encouraging prices for the SabrinaX (and Sabrina), and ... 
JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV
I did a quick comparison chart as I'm looking for a pair of speakers to go with my Pass XA25. Comes on top The C4s, followed closely by the JBL S4700 (used for ~$10K), the podium is completed by the JBLS3900 - 4th place is the 4349. The criteria I... 
Better Amp for Cornwall IV's...
@ coachpoconnor , I have an XA25 and have been pondering jumping the gun on theC4s. What’s your experience with these speakers? And, I was also considering Wilson's Sabrina (used) - Not the same price point (about $10K), but the dynamics seem to ... 
Suggestions to match a pair of speakers to Pass Labs XA25?
1Markr, thanks: I just saw that Tekton released a newer version: the 2-10 SET. Nice review from Guttenberg, and perhaps I'll try them out.

The Spendor D7.2 have rather excellent reviews - Has anyone listened/owned them? 
Still no real feedback on Cornwall IV - Any update?
Thanks Steelhead, appreciate it. I'll try to find them at some retailer to listen to them. Avantgarde seems quite expensive, not in my league I'm afraid!I'm not convinved by electrostatics, but the Summit is a nice hybrid... I'll keep looking.Voli... 
Suggestions to match a pair of speakers to Pass Labs XA25?
Soix, yes you're right - The NOLAs are quite "normal" in their size. 
Suggestions to match a pair of speakers to Pass Labs XA25?
Thank you all, this is very helpful. I really appreciate your input, especially when you explain your reasoning. JospehAudio is high on my list, but they are expensive... The Open-baffle is a good option, but I'd need to listen to them first - I w...
