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?

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 assume that a 4 ohm with a sensitivity of 88db should be fine to run with the same amp (here a XA25 that you all know). I’m not a sound engineer for sure!!
As a result, I believe that I could run the Wilsons SabrinaX without too much trouble, for instance. Thoughts, guidance?

The Wilsons don’t hold a candle to the Magicos, but you need a trained ear to get it. They will not jump on you like some other speakers, but they will be a much better companion for the long run.
