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.
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?
