Thanks all for the feedback. Much appreciated. I’ll report back once I have the Magicos and ample listening time.
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.

The Stenheim Alumine Three is a little over $30k and might be a really good option for you. I liked them a lot when I heard them at a show and I've onlyread good reviews of their speakers.

I've heard the Sabrina X as well as the Sasha's. Have not heard the PS Audio or the Rockports. Bought and installed the A5's about a month ago. So far, they sound amazing! For those that have not heard this Magico, it is not the least thin sounding or bright, like previous models from this manufacturer. If anything, it is a bottom up speaker with a slightly warm tonality. Except it has incredible detail and disappears in the room, I like it better than the Sasha's, never mind the Sabrina X. A little back round: I've owned various Wilson's near 30 years, so I am a Wilson fan. Currently also have a Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene in a second system, also a great speaker and better IMO than the Wilson's. |
