Hi Samsoum, I own the same ebony veneered ones but mine are upgraded to the "original" or mk1 Anniversary.
I haven't done much listening/comparing to loudspeakers the last several years and haven't heard the Sabrina so can't help you there. The VR-5's were a direct competitor to the Wilson Watt/Puppy's, some think they "punched above that".
The price you got for the VR-5's is a very good one I think (new >30k). Most important is of course that you like what they do and that they are a match for your room so I'd consider a home audition mandatory. Enjoy and good luck!
