All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!

They are better, that said at a higher price. Your summation of the A3 is on point.

the A5 lack of a sense of space as you put it. I know there are a lot of people that aren’t big fans of B&W but I listened to some 800’s and Wilson’s that were much much better.

Years ago had a set of infinity’s that remind me a lot of this speaker. I was somewhat happy with the purchase at the time some 27 years ago. I think I paid $4800 for them.

Magico must have a big markup for the dealers or something. It’s crazy. Reading the reviews. Pay to play or something.

anyway thanks much!

Thanks Stereo 5 I’m going to hang in and see. 

I just traded my B&W 801N’s for a set of Magico A5’s.

musically they are pretty good. I traded because I needed a smaller speaker moving in to a new space. 
overall the A5 is not even close to the same league as my old 801n.

My wife was more disappointed than I was. She is not a audio file by any means doesn't know all the fancy jargon. She said “the old speakers sounded like. Live concert, these just sound like. Ok speaker” what does she know except what she likes.

driving them with a pair of MC611’s and a C53. 
same setup with the 801n. 
Everyone always said you need big power to drive a 801N ok but wow these A5’s eat power and produce much lower levels than the 801 did.

disappointed for sure. These will get traded off in a year or two. 
just my opinion not meant to offend anyone.
