Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD


Looking at upgrading my speakers and I have no in home demo options.

I am looking at spending up to 25K.

Magico, Sonus faber, Harbeth are in the running.

I listen to  beatles, Dead, CSNY, Eagles.

I have a Mcintosh MC462, MC22 and a just ordered Berkeley Alpha Dac 3.  

I was leaning toward the Harbeth or SF but just read a great review on the MAgico A5.

Still working on buying a streamer to feed the system.

Looking for some thoughts.

Thanks

I have owned SF Olympica III's powered by a Mac MA6900. Harbeth Super HL5 Plus powered by same and currently own Magico A5's powered by MacIntosh MC275 Mk V with a C2300 preamp. I also have a B&W DB3D behind my rack firing to the side walls (think Phil Zone). Best and most satisfying system I have had. 

Side note / big vinyl fan with an Aries 3 and audio technica Art 9XI. Streaming BlueSound Node 2i through a Mac MCD500 (also plays SACD). Similar size room with 12 foot ceiling. Happy to send pics.
