sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion

Hi,

I'm a bit confused and undecided about which book shelf speakers to choose. Till now I've heard magico A1 live and Proack k1 live, both of them were fantastic, but i think majico A1, in my opinion, sounds better. Unfortunately, i can not listen to the sonus faber elcata amator III it in my country, i can order them, but can't hear them live. I've heard them on video in youtube and i have to say that they seem to be very interesting. Can anyone please advice me, what is the better choice between those two loudspeakers or suggest on any other bookshelf speaker at the price of approximately 10.000$.

Thanks a lot. 

If its important for the decision, I'm planning to buy a vac phi 170 iQ monoblocks. Thanks again.

To my experience, freqs above 16khz always become smoother, even if they are tilted up. 20khz freq, which is the highest audible one is ultra smooth, no matter the tweeter material. I even have found that a tilt in that end of the spectrum could result in a smoother and airier treble perception.

The hot freqs go from 2 khz to 16 khz, which are mostly related to the tweeter design and resonance, regardless of the voicing. That’s why in most of the cases a hard dome tweeter sounds hot in comparison to a soft dome, which sounds smoother. It is not a straightforward rule, but it applies in most of the cases.

What most people call treble are freqs between 5khz to 12khz. If a speaker is tilted up there, everyone will describe it as a tilted treble speaker, even if it completely rolls off above 12khz.
