FYI, equipment is Simaudio 390 Pre/DAC/Streamer and Simaudio 330A amp (125 into 8, 250 into 4).
Magico A3 or A1+Sub
Considering purchasing either Magico A3 floorstander or A1 bookshelf + Rel sub (Magico asub gets set up with computer and seems overly complex). A key advantage is these are fully sealed and fairly shallow (10-12 inches) and speakers will need to live about 12 inches max from wall. I have no experience with subs and could only fit one sub if go that way.
Would appreciate any guidance on what would produce best sound quality?
Thanks,

@rick_n Fair point. I've added a picture to my virtual system, the view is looking from dining room towards living room. Speakers are roughly 9 feet apart, 1 foot from wall and listening positioning is about 7 feet back. Goal is overall more detail and retain bass (forests are good at bass). Listen to alternative, EDM and run the TV through speakers. Would like to get a quality piece that would last for many years. Demo'd A3, A1 and Borresen X1 (standmount could go on console and sub to left of console in corner). Would really like to create some soundstage depth but recognize that is difficult with speakers only 12 inches from wall but such is needed for domestic tranquility.

@ozzy62, @stereo5 Understood. For Floorstanders, could get maybe an additional 5-10 inches from right wall with moving console. Not sure if that is sufficient. That is why, in my limited room, the question of if A1 which could go on the console would be better overall than A3. Thoughts? Could add a single Rel sub in the right corner. Get that this is suboptimal but seeking to make some lemonade here. Appreciate your guidance. |
