Magico A3 price increases 50%+


I have been doing a bit of research in my search for a new Loudspeaker upgrade .
since 2018 The Magico A-3 has gone up from $10k to $15k in 3 years That is dramatic .
and that doesnot even include the better feet they are a $1500 option . They are a good speaker but no longer the great deal they once were , and their Xover uses the low cost Average at best ,
Mundorf Evo capacitors, when they should have at least Mundorf Supreme , and Mundorfs cheapest $2 
Green resistors, the M-resist are only $13 retail  they get over $50% off them in a $15 k speaker going cheap? Having done Xover mods for years . If I find a good used pair ,I will use the Excellent VH audio Odam capacitors , and superb Path audio resistors which are noticeably better then even in their best speakers ,which use Mundorf supreme silver gold oil capacitors  which I have used several times  in the past.

Audioman58, where can you locate and purchase the better made parts you reference? I might know a dealer who could undertake the venture of swapping them out, and am curious how labor intensive or difficult that job might be? What would you think the outcome of upgrading those caps and resistors might be, and how noticeable? I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks.

I’m so glad I got my A3’s when the were below $10,000. Thanks for an informative post.
