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,

Dokosan

If your plan is to position the speakers as they are in that photo, it’s a waste of any high quality speaker. Open floor plan rooms are a disaster anyway. Add placing the speakers so close to the wall, and one in the corner, and the situation gets worse.

I know I’m being a Debbie Downer, but I wouldn’t spend that kind of coin for speakers in that room to realize 60% of their potential.

Normally I am a fan of full range speakers that don’t need subs. But with the speakers so close to room boundaries, monitors + subs might be a better fit. Your room has lots of glass and flat untreated surfaces. Any speakers you settle on will benefit from room treatment.
