Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX

I’m not familiar with lyngdorf design but I can’t imagine it contributed to the sound that much

Sure thing, electronics don’t have anything to do with sound quality 🙄

Also, I don’t see any threads on any forums titled magico haters.
Do you? But here is Wilson Audio Haters thread

That a Wilson guy started. Maybe an ego thing, need reassurance?? However, you should read it. Nine pages of explanations, some are pretty convincing, thanks for sharing 🤣

I auditioned the A3s (associated electronics were Lyngdorf integrated and very high end cables) in my search for a new pair of speakers. I found them to sound dark, closed in, lacking air and sense of space, with boomy bass. They lacked life and I just couldn’t get into the music.

That's pretty close to my experience when I auditioned them as well.

mheinze…

The A3 is a much better speaker, objectively (See reviews and measurements).

Yeah you’re right. If the reviews and measurements say it’s a better speaker than it must be true…

Also, yes you’re right on point - It was the $7200 lyngdorf integrated that sounded like aluminum cabinets. Not the A3s. I amend my statement that you took out of context. 

Take care. 

If the reviews and measurements say it’s a better speaker than it must be true…

Obviously, I (and a couple of thousand others - so I heard) are experiencing the A3 utterly different than you. Neither of our opinion matters. However, if a set of measurements say it’s a better speaker, then yes, it is probably true...

Take care.

Thank you.

I have heard both in depth the New Sabrina X is a major step up to. Th3 older Sabrina ,using their best tweeter used in Their top speaker , and same woofer as the Shasha Daw , the midrange is a wood pulp , the Xover is much better then the Magico they use the cheaper Mundorf white Evo caps , vs the custom Rel caps they bought the company and far better quality ,and they use their Xcabinet material throughout ,which is very dense and absorbs vibration 

they will play to a solid 30 hz ,the Magico is more analytical a bit harder to match equipment with ,a bit more sensitive , it’s about taste both are excellent .

personally the Magico A5 is far better then the 3 , 

the Sonus Faber Serafino  G2. Is a great new speaker to watch out for $26k retail 

the best looking speaker I have seen ,and it is better in every way vs the last model 

that’s says a lot.   I will be checking them out soon
