| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Did not hear the Yamaha, so can’t comment. I believe the Persona was driven with Pass electronics, which are typically very sweet (It was so bad, I did not bother to explore further). I am not a big fan of DSP, so my preferences may be different t... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I am surprised you liked the Persona, I audition them, here in Germany (I believe Magico and Paradigm share distributor). They were so bright, glossy and coarse, and the bass was out of tune, don't know why would anyone prefer them to the A3 (or t... | |
| Magicos are chesty Don't know about any of that... They were marvelous in a small room, very close to the back wall, with the smallest Spectral. I was also told that they sound magic with the Octave V110 integrated (110 W), albeit very different sound from the Spec... | |
| Magicos are chesty @erik_squires The S1 I listen to was in a small room with the Spectral Stereo DMA 240, hardly a monster. I don't understand why you conclude that they need a big space and a big amp. I only heard the S3 in Munich show couple of years ago, it was a... | |
| Magicos are chesty I spent few hours on Saturday listening to the S1 Mk2 on a full Spectral system. Truly was a treat, I couldn’t fault it on anything but full orchestral pieces (and the price, very expensive setup). It was amazing, the liquidity off these speakers ... | |
| Magico A3 Interesting, I think that the Sopra tweeters are much coarser then the A3.Did you listen to the Sopra on the same equipment? Roon always sound harsh and glossy to me. With such a transparent speaker like the A3 you would hear it clearly. I agree t... | |
| Magico A3 The A3 low bass is incredibly linear and deep, a big improvement over anything else I audition under 20K. Plenty of toe-tapping in my living room ;)You just need to pair them right, it does take a system to make it all work. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 Hard to imagine what people are hearing. I always regarded Spender as a mid-fi product. I think that the Dynaudios at that price range are much better speakers and the Magico A3 is in a completely different league altogether then the Dayns. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I am still slightly puzzled as to why Magico speakers don’t get a universal thumbs up, the way say for example DeVore do. Alon Wolf seems to be far too meticulous in his approach as to not have canvassed a wide range of opinion before unleashing h... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @fleschler I have the Magico A3 in my system for over a month now. I listen to many speakers before I chose the A3. Some of the contenders were the Wilson Sabrina the Dynaudio Contour 60 and Confidence 2 and the Focal Sopra 2. I don’t like Harbeth... | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 I agree. I spent long time auditioning these speakers. | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 I have the A3 in my system for about a week now. I am playing it with the Pass INT-250. A big WOW!! | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 I have the A3 in my system for about a week now. I am playing it with the Pass INT-250. Amazing sound! I had the Dynaudio contour 30 before, this is a big upgrade. I listen to many speakers before I chose the A3. Some of the contenders were the... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? I have the A3 in my system for about a week now. I am playing it with the Pass INT-250. All I can say is WOW! They have much more bass then the S1 (of course they are 3-way), and they go much deeper than the Sabrina. The Sabrinas are warmer, but ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? My first post here, I was in a slimier situation; I am a recording musician, I needed a tool to hear my work, but as an audiophile, albeit a modest one, I also wanted to have a speaker I can enjoy listening to when I am not critical at the recordi... |
