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?

What were the associated electronics and where did you hear them? 

Curious because this is a comparison I would never make (Wilson vs. Magico). Wilson and Magico couldn't be more different. The Wilsons to me are typically superior all across the board, and I am not a fan of their products for a number of different reasons. 

But both speakers are highly dependent on system synergy and room setup. So if something sounded flat to you my guess is it's someone's setup and preference that you heard.

I honestly think it must’ve been the setup... SabrinaX are quite dynamic... not as much so as the Sasha or older W/P’s, but not lacking in slam.

The XA25 should be able to drive it to reasonable level.
