Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3

Hello Audiophiles,

How does the Sophia 3 (discontinued?) stack up to the Sasha 1 or 2.  I've seen a threat on Sasha vs. Sophia, but...

I've recently auditioned the Sabrina and the Sasha 2.  It was no comparison for me; the Sasha did everything I thew at it well, the Sabrina did some things quite well, and others not so well - couldn't deliver much impact or scale for me. 

I'm trying to decide whether the Sophia 3 is closer to the Sasha or the Sabrina?  I know it's in the middle but where?  

14x21' audio room.  ARC ref75 and Lumin T1 streamer.  I have 1st/2nd reflection and base traps installed.  Moving up from Focal 1027s. 

Thanks for ANY opinions and inputs!!!

I agree with ricred1 in all respects.

I have Sasha 1 with Ref 150 ( KT 150 tubes). No problems driving the Sashas. Back when I had the Ref 110 amp, I brought the Ref 210 monos in house to see how much better they would do with the Sashas. At the time, it was about 10% (mainly in dimensionality and imaging) with no appreciable difference in the low end.
Based on that, I’ve always felt the 150 WPC amp is best bang for the buck with the Sashas. That said, I’ve never heard the Ref 75se with Sashas although I’ve heard the Ref 75se vs the GS 150 with the Alexias. It was no contest. The GS 150 drove the Alexias very well in all respects while the Ref 75SE drove them in a merely satisfactory way. Hope this helps.
