Magico vs the world

for cost no object the Meridian DSP 7200 and dsp 8000 speakers have cabinets that have no measurable resonances, not sure any other manufacturer can say that. Buy used for a song and upgrade to the se kit and for a total system cost of $25k with the included tone controls they should sound great in any room. I can’t imagine how much time and money it would cost me to get this level of fidelity in this room with passive speakers and separate components. Magico is the flavor of the month because the new A line is new territory for the company, affordable that is. They still don’t defy physics and will need the same care as any other speakers regarding room size, characteristics and component matching to get the best from them. I’m not going to suggest advertising has anything to do with their popularity but it can’t hurt.
 I want to hear the new A5.

Basically a repeat of my first posting, almost 2 years ago:
I am a professional musician, and I do a lot of recording, mainly chamber, and small ensemble. I need a tool to hear my work, but as an audiophile, albeit a modest one, I also wanted to have a speaker I can enjoy listening to when I am not critical at the recording. I spent over a year listening to as many speakers as I could; my budget was up to 20K Euro. In the end, it came down to the Wilson Sabrina vs. the Magico A3 (I can't afford the S3, and the S1 limited bass output was an issue for me). Although the Sabrina were  very enjoyable, they did lack the resolution the A3 has, and also the bass and treble extension. Ultimately, the A3 won, and I now believe you can have it both, resolution and musicality.
Almost 2 years later, I will say it was a smart move, I never regretted the choice, and never got tired of the A3, to the contrary, they keep surprising me. I am looking forward to hearing the A5.

Whatever you do, don't ever suggest Paridigm.  They might be too good.  I think their 85F Prestige speakers are incredible for the money.  I still think you can never beat the sound quality of the SALK Sone3 Encore's.  However, they sell direct and do not sell through dealers because this allows them to use expensive and superior drivers.
