I went from the aluminum inverted dome in the Focal 836W to the inverted dome beryllium of the Focal 1028BE.

To me the tweeter in the Sabrinas is a god send, I can once again listen to music for extended periods. It certainly doesn't have the detail of the Beryllium but I can live without it as all my music has become enjoyable again.

May Stereophile has their review. Another good review with Atkinson's measurements and feedback.

Although very lacking in detail if you're wanting a thorough subjective analysis.

Interesting to see were several technical flaws, the most notable being a cabinet resonance that showed itself in the impedance and frequency response measurements.

This resonance is of the high Q (Quality factor), which mean that it needs to be excited by continuous energy at that exact frequency to become fully developed. The frequency 242Hz also falls between the B-flat and B in Western music (when A4=440Hz) - so other than with drums, the resonance might well not be excited with music."
