Thought I should revive this thread, as I'm most likely getting a set of Sabrina's home for a demo.
Listened to them at the dealer today, knowing they are way over what I want to spend, but after one listen I started giving myself excuses that I'll never need another speakers etc etc blah blah

IMHO Sabrina is not worth so much money. Try new Sopra 2 from Focal or 2nd hand Sasha from Wilson.
Sopra 2 isn't much cheaper and the local dealer won't bring me a set to try with my gear and room. Not happy with that.
Sasha is too big for my room.

The first time I heard the Sasha's in the same room I wasn't impressed. Note this is a pretty big room. That was last summer, they had them away from the back wall and closer togethor with less toe-in.
Today they were 10 inches from the back wall, wider apart, and pretty much toed right at me and they sounded way better! Dealer said the Wilson rep finally stopped in and set them up that way and they've been happy ever since.
