Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2
I have around 10k to play with for a new set of speakers.
My current equipment: MC452 C2600 MCD550 Vienna Acoustics Mozart grand speakers, REL S5.
My options include Magico A3, Focal Kanta 2 or used Sonus Faber Elipsa SE for around 10K. These choices are based on on aesthetics (approved by wife) and reviews, I have not heard any of them yet. I am not willing to change my amp/pre. My choice of music is 95% classical (symphony, solo piano, piano concertos) about 5% Jazz. Auditioning speakers would probably not be possible. I need to make a decision based purely on expert recommendation. If there are any other speakers in this price range with similar attributes I may also consider, but I would prefer to pick one from above. Also, would any of the above give a massive improvement in sound reproduction? Is SF Elipsa outdated when compared to current Focal and Magico? Thanks.
