This is factually incorrect; the A5 bass profile is similar to that of the Sasha (actually goes slightly lower). You can check SP measurements on both. What the A5 does not have is the typical boost around 80Hz a ported design gives, which some can confuse with “more bass”. It is simply a less linear design than the A5, which may not be to your liking. Also, the Sasha distortion measurements are substantially higher than the A5 (check hifi news for that - all available online), which questions your assertion that the Sasha is more refined (certainly not to my ears).
Magico A3 to A5
Folks, I had lived with the Magico A3s for a year or so, and I am swapping them to A5s in the next couple of weeks. Put the purchase order yesterday. Could anyone post their experience with the A5s either in possession or listening at some venue. I couldn't bring them home for audition as they are 180lbs. But at the dealer they sounded real nice driven with the T+A 3100HV.. And I have the same setup at home.. I am hoping I made the right decision moving from A3 to A5
