Wilson Sophia 3 vs Sabrina

Hi. Few years ago I demo home Sasha 1 and was blown away. Since than I listen Sophia 3 many times and decided to go with S3 as soon I construct my new listening room. I'm not so impressed with last Wilson speaker generation. Well, that was until I heard Sabrina at Innivation Audio showroom and first time I liked how new tweeter sound. Sabrina sound to me more coherent than any Wilson I heard. Still, I prefer Sophia power and scale, but not sure which can give me more plasure. Anybody compare them?

This would be really interesting to hear which is better.
I know the new tweeter is really good and an improvement.

I think Wilson change tweeter to be able to cross lower with their (SB acoustic version) midrange, due its 4kHz membrane resonance. All new models benefit with smooter mids, but silk dome caracter is not as per se better. I still love resolution of metal dome and found not been fatigue in right set-up. Sabrina on the other hand is crossed higer and new twetter realy shine. We need to hear opinions from lucky owners...

MF-

I am dying to demo the newest Sabrina. I have had many pleasant auditions w/ both Sophia + Sasha. It is going to be interesting to hear what Wilson's newest offering brings to the proverbial "table". If you guys can suggest a dealer/retailer w/ this speaker on the floor and ready to demo, please say so.
Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I listen Sabrina twice so far (VTL & AR) and it's nicely voiced. I miss bottom octave which is there with Sophia 3, just a little less focused and lose comparing with Sasha 2 (I try both speakers side by side in huge room really loud).
