Magicos!

I hope you all can imagine me shrieking magicos like a little kid who was given a gift he thought was unattainable...but without the squeaky voice....and of course they were not a gift, although certainly a fair deal. maybe i am not as happy as that little kid but its pretty cool. i figure if you get the a line at 35 I can scrape my way to the s line by 40 and be set to make some really stupid decisions later on...which is great.

the only problem in paradise is that I literally just got spendor 9.2s and i spared no expense on the line..they have this unique mix of accuracy, fun, and a response to electronics that has surprised me. So i must keep both of course...

i got the magico beginners kit, a3s, and they will be going in a medium room that is likely a touch small for them. they are replacing 226bes that worked perfectly in the space. id be interested in any dream lines that consider my space but pretend budget isnt an issue.

@james633 the 226bes are great as well as the 328s. i am trying them in my office which is awesome but they are quite close to me...lol. kind of hard to compare with full range magicos though. they do just about everything at least a little better in my opinion...

I bought a pair of revel salons from a gent on the better side of town with a room similar to your dimensions and since then he went thru the salon 2's and a couple others but I think he's settled in with the paradigm persona 9h, he's had them longer than anything else he's used in that room. I liked it so much I bought the persona 7f even though I now have more speakers than listening rooms. 
If I could risk the expense of matching components to low efficiency speakers the top of my list, forget list I would already own the Vienna acoustics 'The Music'.
