Damn, these interesting, relevant to me, threads always seem to end prematurely 
@rman9 -- How did things turn out for you? I have a T+A PA3100HV and A3s and am seriously considering A5s.
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
