Magico vs the world

Everywhere I look I only see people (end users and professional reviewers) raving about magico. Build quality, incredible sound, etc... everyone just loves them, especially the modern series, A3, M series, S series (mk2 variant). It is impressive for sure. But I am curious, what speakers have you heard that you compared to magico that you like as much or maybe even better?

I went to hear the Magico A3 with the intention to purchase them based on all the glowing reviews. When I first heard them I thought, aha, now this sounds nice, but after a few minutes I noticed it to be a little cold/sterile sounding. They were being demoed with Ayre equipment. I ended up buying the Focal Sopra 2’s. I liked the sound better.

mheinze,

Well the Focal's Sopra 2's sounded superior to me over the A3's with the Ayre equipment. I guess to each his own, I chose what I thought sounded best.
FYI, I also own the same Ayre preamp along with tube mono blocks and (4) JL Audio F-113 subs. So perhaps that negates the criticism of the Sopra's.
