Magico vs the world


Everywhere I look I only see people (end users and professional reviewers) raving about magico. Build quality, incredible sound, etc... everyone just loves them, especially the modern series, A3, M series, S series (mk2 variant). It is impressive for sure. But I am curious, what speakers have you heard that you compared to magico that you like as much or maybe even better?

Naturally having a good time, luxury and music come hand in hand and this year The Indulgence Show will be showcasing a range of music performances from jazz bands and string quartets to rock bands and even a Drummerthon. These artists will be displaying their musical talents in the Chablis suite with 30 - 60-minute stage sets.

It’s been a while since I posted here. Back then I had two rigs. One of them with Magnepan 1.7i. The other with Magico A3s. I sold the Maggies. I have the A3s. I am wondering about the Magico A5s. Does anyone here have the A5s? What are your impressions of them as compared to other speakers you have auditioned? Thanks. 

Happy owner of an A5. Best speakers I ever had. I had a ~$40K budget for a speaker, couldn't find anything better. YMMV.  

@henry201 Some questions regarding your A5s:

1. Do you use them with subwoofers?

2. Please clarify what feet and flooring you have them on. For instance, spikes and pads on hard wood floor, or Isoacoustics feet, etc?

3. Did you A-B them against the A3s? If so, what were your impressions?

 Thanks. K

1. No

2. Hardwood floor, supplied spikes and floor savers.

3. I did. The A5 is better across the board. It's a safe upgrade.
