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

I am extremely impressed with the sound produced by the Magico A5 speakers. The midrange is excellent and an improvement over the A3, the bass is tight, clean, and sounds effortless like a well-integrated high-quality subwoofer, and the soundstage was wonderful.

At ~$20k the A5s are a very, very attractive value proposition.

As for measurements, anyone can refer to the SoundStage! Network and Stereophile data to compare against other speakers. What I (and others) hear backs up the superior quality implied by those measurements.

We have the Magico A5 speakers paired with a Bryston 4B3 amplifier and it sounds excellent with tight and authoritative bass. The tweeter is not at all harsh, although the S- and M-series tweeters are of course much smoother.

@easy_h theoretically the 7B3's lower damping factor should still be sufficient...but I haven't tried it myself.

@camb the A5 is a flagship speaker for the A-series, capable of handling up to 1000W and playing full-range as loud as you need it. But it isn’t just capable of playing louder and deeper than the A3—it actually sounds better than the A3 because of the improved driver technology.

In the S-series, the analogous speaker in terms of range and output is the S5 MkII at ~2x the price of the A5.
