Magicos!

Drew, I love my A3’s, having gotten them not too long after they came out and fortunately prior to the price rise. They do take a while to burn in, but you should start noticing a difference in short order.

I put the Isoacoustic Gaia feet on mine too and noticed they noticeably tightened the bass response and increased separation. To be fair I put Isoacoustic feet on all the other components at the same time, so the improvement was likely cumulative. I was pleasantly surprised any tweak could make a difference like that.

I hope you enjoy your Magico A3’s. They are a great and stylish looking speaker too  especially with the grill on, as part, not the focus of, a rooms decor,. They will reproduce amazingly with great detail whatever signal you feed them. Enjoy.

Mike

So i must keep both of course...

You lucky $%#^&#*& !!!
I like the look of them (A3), no nonsense clean and purposeful.
I went to check out your system page, and I saw a sailing photo, I presume of you? Fun looking sloop if that’s yours? I sailed a sloop with two others across the Sth. China Sea. Once, just once.
Fortunately, I was ignorant of what the water spouts could do to us, as beautiful as they were. One of the blokes put a flying fish under me as I slept and I thought I’d killed it, until after months he finally told me he’d done it and it was already dead.

As other have asked, please post your impressions, and if time permits a system page with the A3s.

@rixthetrick 

i am not sure which picture you are referring 2 or even that i had a systems page but i assure you i am no captain. i will follow up though, as ive been listening to the A3s for pretty much a day straight...plopped my desk right in front them basically.

....and i know im a @#$%. i used to hate me...when i had some black device connected to bose 301s that were completely falling apart....but at least im not the guy with 200k system that uses it for an hr of opera on thursday nights. opera guys are the worst....

@vuch - it was your profile I was blathering on about, it's your sloop photo.

@dbefus85 - Oops I hadn't even been drinking, I swear!
I'll get myself some humble pie for desert tonight, right? Well at least you're polite mate.

I'm not going to deny that in my classical music, buried in folders on my server I don't have opera, it's not generally my go to though. $200K system, opera or not, I'd probably listen :-P

Wait, are you using your desk to prop yourself up in case you fall asleep?
:-)

@rixthetrick

please know that i am completely joking around...i've always thought the hifi world could benefit from a sense of humor but i realize how easy it is to misinterpret written communication.

the knock on "opera guys" wasnt directed at the genre...  ive met just a few audio enthusiasts (i refuse to repeat how we are normally referred 2) that have these impressive systems but listen to them very little....perhaps "godfather wannabees" is a better term? except w/o the mafia of course. its just that this breed of audio nerd ive met (2 people) listen to opera only...if i was going to go after a genre it would be country of course!

i will compare the 2 speakers as it really is a great comparison of 2 very different designs at similar price points...however i have an issue with my left hand (notice that i dont hit shift in these post) and am a one-handed typer right now. getting pretty good right!?...actually now that i look at the time, nevermind.

oh the desk!...yup! (im such as shift liar!), you called that one.
