Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30?


Powered by a McIntosh MA12000 in a 14’ (width) x 30’ (depth) x 10.5’ (height) room with concrete floors. Listening is 50% jazz, 10% classical, 25% rock/alt, 15% electronic. Sources are a Dr. Feickert Blackbird/Soundsmith Hyperion analog and Innuos Statement digital.  Ideally, I'd like to eliminate the need for dual subwoofers.

I would look at Rockport Atria II. I was looking st them send A5. The Rockport won for me. 

The Ps audio… a lot of music fans do like McIntosh : I don’t know why : it’s a cool , unnatural  sounding amp.,too flat( my opinion) . You play a lot of Jazz music… there are a lot of better “natural” -sounding amps : VAC, Dartzeel , VTL,…

I just got a pair of Wilson Sabrina X and find them to be very musical and easy to listen to.  I would suggest listening to them paired with McIntosh.  They do great with tube amplification, but I've always prefered AR over McIntosh, with Wilson.  Spending that amount on speakers, I would want to hear them with my pre & power amps.   

If you are looking for a full sounding speaker that pairs well with your musical tastes give Alta Audio a look.  I picked up a pair of Alec’s about a month ago.  They are well below your price range.  If the Alec’s are representative of what their upper models are capable of, would be worth a look.  Michael Levy who is the founder / lead designer was very accessible and great to deal with.
