Rockport Atria II or Magico A5

I own the A5. After reading this thread, I jumped on an opportunity to audition the Atria at a privet setting. To say that I was unimpressed is an understatement. Hard to tell what people hear, and needless to say proper setup is critical. To my ears, there was nothing the Atria did that impressed me. A much smaller, darker, smeared sound with a noticeable Beryllium glare (this is the same Scan-Speak tweeter used in the first generation Magico S series - which always bothered me).
In particular, the bass, which was anemic and soft compared to the A5 ( I just can’t imagine anyone preferring this one 9” woofer to the 3 in the A5). I am sure that the lean bass response can be easily measured, unfortunately, no one has tested the Atria yet.

I was interested in the A5 until seeing the stereophile review and they roll off too early. I'm sure the huge boost in bass sounds impressive, but the overall measurements suggest a speaker that will be more room dependent than most. the persona 7f is close in price, doesn't need much power and sounds amazing. 

That’s not the case.

"I have not shown the in-room response below 45Hz, as this was affected by the presence of subsonic noise from his building’s heating/ ventilation system. This could not be turned off on the morning that I was able to perform the measurements"

There are better measurements on Soundstage review (https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/1042-magico-a5-loudspeakers?fbclid=IwAR1u3iW2ntPgFYAKxntjiDjhgcy5V1BUG0kVBglql15l2u_japSj09lDWAU)

The bass is phenomenal, as the review mention.

Looking at the remarks in the measurement section of the Stereophile review of the A5's by JA, I see that he mentions that the speaker needs to be connected to an amp that has no problem driving a 2 ohm load! I wonder how many amps this rules out?? 

I run mine with an Octave tube Integrated. 120W into 4 Ohm. No problems, whatsoever.
