Magico A5 vs SF Amati vs Raidho D3 - Help me decide!


I’m looking to make a jump in my speakers!
 

Please help me decide between these 3:

Magico A5

SF Amati

Raudho D3

 

i currently have Magico V3 and love the sound but looking for a bit more low end and curious what a jump at this level might do for my SQ.

Current system is ML 585.5 Int and ML 515 TT. Cables are mostly Nordhost of varying levels. 
 

Any thoughts from current or previous owners is appreciated.

OP:  It's worth listening to different models in the Dyn since they have very different sound signatures.  They don't stick to one house sound like many other brands.

The Magico is honestly an excellent choice if it has the right tonal balance for you.  Glass smooth mid and treble, lots of output. My complaint, and I am the only person on earth who thinks so, is they are a little cool and maybe exaggerate the lower vocal registers a little.  I call it chesty, like you can hear their chests a little more than expected.  Still, nit picking things you should listen to for yourself.

If you like Magico I really think you should stick with them. Raidho speakers are fussy to placement and Sonus Faber I might consider the opposite of magico. We like what we like and everything else sounds a little off.

Thanks so much for the feedback. The upgrade-itis in me is disappointed but my wife is super relieved. Maybe the best option is some subs as recommended or a DAC upgrade instead. 

Out of these the Sonos Faber makes the most bass. Borreson is most hifi.

the A5 is just not great for bass and needs subs but good for the money with subs. Look for a used Vivid Giya G2 :)! that’s what I bought when I was looking at the same speakers. I would also look at a new pair of Borreson X6’s

If your taste is on the classical rock, then you had better choose Magic A5 which go down reasonably well with nice dynamics.

 

Sonus Faber is more suitable for classical music with nuanced sound.

 

I found Raidio very nice speaker at Pacific Audiofest 2022 and 2023 but more suitable for light jazz and chamber music rather than classical rock.
