I actually backed into my Magico A5's as I knew my VPI/Mac setup was not going anywhere. Started with the A3's after numerous attempts at speaker nirvana and quickly upgraded after listening to the A5's. Paired with a B&W DB2 sub side firing from behind my rig with plenty of room treatments has yielded a system that fully satisfies. Highly recommend listening to the A5's and starting with the most important component of any system.
$25k speakers, are we there yet?
ASR members walk away. For the rest of us.
These big expensive speakers really do need the stars to align for us to ever reach their potential so when my last speakers didn't do well with the source I had instead of upgrading the source I swapped speakers. What do you need to hear/see/know about your speakers to take the next step and build a 20 year system around them?

@bigkidz Thanks for the compliment!? I am a big A5 fan. They were designed to compete with more expensive speakers and after listening to the Wilson line am convinced they can hold their own against the next couple of price points. Also, I sold my A3's for the same amount I paid for them. |
@bigkidz - you're on, I travel to the big apple about twice a year |
