Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo

Hello,

I am looking for a new speaker to replace my 803d3’s. I don’t need the lowest frequencies in my 4 by 6 meter room. So, what would be a good replacement?

Can someone tell me about differences in sound?

- Focal Sopra 1

- Magico A1

- Marten Oscar/ Parker Duo

My amps are: pass labs xp12, Bryston 14bsst2

cd: simaudio 650d, Bryston bcd3.

 

thanks!,

I"m not sure if this is useful few months later but...

I haven't listen to the Parker nor the Magico, but I choose the Sopra #1 over other brand (BW 805 D4, Dynaudio Heritage Special and Totem Element Fire) and I am extremely please with them. Among the 4 bookshelves I auditioned, there were the one with the most distinctive sound. More clear (I would say harsh), transparent and the bass is clean and puchy, but not super deep (these are bookshelves after all).

If I ever upgrade, it will be for bigger Focal!

I second Rick's recommendation. As you are in Europe, you may be able to audition a pair of KIM.

I had a long listen to the Marten Parker Duo, but ended up buying the KIM.
