Adam,
Mahalo for the link.
Interesting to compare with KH's measurements of the Sophia 3s and Magico S3s.
Have you ever seen measurements for the Magico S1s?
No, but if you are willing to spend 1 euro, you can get a full Stereoplay test with a set of measurements:

Update:
No need to spend the $$$:

Thanks, shows the exact same tweeter resonance, so obviously it's a real thing.

Should we ask Mr Howard for the impedance graph ,,,,, 
The measured report is pretty vague and that's a pretty choppy graph , I'm guessing gated in room response hence possible falsies ....
They did give it a big Subjective thumbs up .....

My disappointment with the newer Wilsons is they have become more inefficient. The Sabrina reviews clearly point this out and seems a continuation of the Alexia.

With small speakers you will lose sensitivity in order to get a good balance and wide-bandwidth ..
Only a large multi driver system will give you both ...

From what I've read, to go low in a smaller cab you have to give up some efficiency.

the Alexia isn't particularly easy to drive and has quite a large cabinet. Wilson has just become tougher to drive these days. same with the new Alexx that I heard a few weeks back.
Pick 2, can't have them all ... physics is a bitch!
Small Cabinet
High Sensitivity
Low Bass Extension
Typically to get around the nasty laws of our Universe, manufacturers just fudge the specs.

Old guys like me remember this speaker design boundary as "Hoffman's Iron Law"
