The A5 are magnificent. I am still looking forward to every listening session almost a year after I got them. It’s in the subtleties that keep on coming. Unlike so many others "impressive" speakers that just lay everything they have on you from the first sec and never stop until you give up, the A5 keeps pulling you in deeper and deeper into the music. Highly recommended, you will have to spend twice as much to maybe get anything equivalent.
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 just took delivery of the Majico A-5’s. They are wonderful but I’m still breaking-in. I will say this, I’m having trouble getting the soundstage right. However they are in a very large room that I think is the culprit. I also have Wilson Alexia’s in a great room acousticly and they are stunningly 3 dimensional. |
In this price range or even higher I would pick Duntech Senators

In in the target zone for making a decision and having a rough time especially since I haven’t heard any of them and am not attending Axpona since missing is Wilson, Focal & Kef and I had some health issues. Whatever this is worth; HiFI Choice Magazine Yearbook raved about the FR 30’s and thought they punched way higher than their price point. They could find no short comings as they can in most. |
