Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX

I listened to the SabrinaX, and found them "flat" somehow, hard to describe.

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.

get magico asap

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.

Whatever sounds best to your ears should guide your decision. With that said, I do not believe the XA25 is enough amp to sufficiently drive either. If that is the amp you demo'd with the SabrinaX, then that might explain some of your impressions. YMMV

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 perhaps I shold try to  listen to them again. I'll try also the Totem Tribe 2 as well this coming week, and perhaps the Klipsch Forte 4 (or Cwl).This is a vast spectrum, and I forgot how difficult it is to get used to "other" speakers that the ones you've had for too long...
