I replaced the Carmel 2 with the Magico A5, which are close in price. I liked the Carmel, but the A5 are in a whole different category (no sub needed), more appropriate to compete with the Hailey, at almost twice the money.
Maybe price wise, but not performance. The A5 is in another realm, and as time goes by, I only realize it more. Typically I start to hear the issues and get restless, didn't happen yet. YMMV.
