Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2

Just curious to find out what are the thoughts of the Magico A3 ? I do not have the opportunity of listening to the pair as the dealer is in another state but it maybe worth heading upstate to audition them.

So far, I have listened to the Revel Salon 2s that I really like. The Revel sounded very extremely neutral, detailed and are easy to position. As much as they are good, they seemed pretty dated judging that they are over 10 years old but that being said, there are not many speakers like it these days.

Just wanted to find out what the overall characteristics of the A3 are, pros and cons.

@steve59 What a journey. What speakers did you end up buying after selling the Salons and the Ushers? Are you not happy with them as you're looking for another pair of speakers?

I landed a pair of DSP8000’s upgraded to’se’ that so far have made everything else I’m listening to sound like speakers. So today I’m happy I need to send the 8k's in for service and don't know how long i'll be without so i'm looking for a pair to use while they're away, they'll either go in a 2nd or back on the market when the 8k's r back

Those look huge. Congrats on finding the speakers. I wonder how they would compare with the likes of Kii3's and Dutch&Dutch. It'll be interesting to see what you end up with for your 2nd room.

I got to hear the kii3 with their bass modules at axpona last spring and if audiophiles ever accept dsp's Into the club I expect them to be keepers
