I have listened to the original Sabrina too but in a different place so it is really hard to compare anything.
SabrinaX, TAD-E1TX-K and Magico A5 are on my short list for the moment.
I think I prefer overall the TAD Evolution speakers because of the bass and details but SabrinaX with the size, shape and choice of color looks much better in a living room. I have not heard the Magico A5 yet.

Philoouu, I could be incorrect but the TAD E1 is 28,000.00. The Sabrina X is 18,500.00 or two thirds the price. This is a very competitive price point so this price difference is significant.
I would not expect the X to blow the original away but the improvements will be significant and appreciated over time, probably 6 mo to a year of listening. I know there will be folks to disagree but it's obvious for me: better cabinet; better drivers; better crossover and capacitors; and very importantly better looks and much lower price.
Best
