I'm sure the Sabrina's would sound better not being right next to Alexias. I once heard Sasha 2's right next to Alexias. Things improved drastically when just one pair of speakers were at the "speaker side" of the room.

Although I own Alexias, I'm interested to hear Sabrina's - and compare them to Sophia 3's. I owned Sophia 3's from 2012-2014..

I find this really upsetting and saw it at a few Wilson dealers. Putting Sasha 2 at the inner side of Alexias, just very close to them ( the Alexias having the wider placement ) this should not be allowed by Wilson.
Not only the Sasha 2 sounds really bad but the Alexia does not sound at their best either.

The Sabrina looks very interesting to me, "WAFwise". My wife could not accept the WP in the living room while she won't have anything against the Sabrina.

I really like the white gloss.

For speaker's size, I guess a large part of the issue lies in the size of the listening room. In this perspective, the Sabrina may be quite appropriate for moderately sized rooms.

Some dealers (certainly not all) for some reason don't take the time to achieve good sound. Why I don't know. When I first heard Alexia it was through a Mac integrated amp running out of the 8 ohm tap. Of course I didn't know this. The midrange and treble sounded good but I was very concerned about the bloated uncontrolled bass. I listened for a long time. As I pulled out of the dealership it occurred I had a similar occurrence with my Thiel CS 5's and a Mac 2600. The Thiels had a very low impedance and out of the 8 ohm tap the bass was quite uncontrolled. Older Mac amps simply did not have the current. I called the dealer and explained what I thought I was hearing. I came back a month later and the speaker sounded so much better. Why do dealers do this sort of thing??: scratch2:

I think that Dan is saying that Sabrina is over priced. It would be interesting to see how its sound stands up to larger more complicated speakers with more drivers that are in its price range. I have to admit 15k seems expensive.
