@mheinze I would not bother too much with these haters. Daveyf1 has been bashing Magico for years, even manage to get his ass kicked out of few other forums just for being the ’lovely’ person he is.
Prior to purchasing the A5, I have auditioned A3 and S5 mkII, both driven by boulder 1160 stereo amp. I was much impressed by the sound. I have always wanted a magico speakers since that Audition. And the release of A5 it matched the price Point and the specs wise. But my bryston 7b sst2 obviously not enough to drive the A5.
So a 300W Stereo Boulder was fine, but a 600W Mono Bryston is not? Perhaps what you are trying to say is that at a 1/4 price of the Boulder, the Bryston, is not as good? Try the Pass INT-250, see what you think.
