Magicos!

I hope you all can imagine me shrieking magicos like a little kid who was given a gift he thought was unattainable...but without the squeaky voice....and of course they were not a gift, although certainly a fair deal. maybe i am not as happy as that little kid but its pretty cool. i figure if you get the a line at 35 I can scrape my way to the s line by 40 and be set to make some really stupid decisions later on...which is great.

the only problem in paradise is that I literally just got spendor 9.2s and i spared no expense on the line..they have this unique mix of accuracy, fun, and a response to electronics that has surprised me. So i must keep both of course...

i got the magico beginners kit, a3s, and they will be going in a medium room that is likely a touch small for them. they are replacing 226bes that worked perfectly in the space. id be interested in any dream lines that consider my space but pretend budget isnt an issue.

@james633 the 226bes are great as well as the 328s. i am trying them in my office which is awesome but they are quite close to me...lol. kind of hard to compare with full range magicos though. they do just about everything at least a little better in my opinion...

will do. i am tempted to jump right in as I recently was trying to decide between the 2....but I will give the a3s some time to try and prove @noromance wrong...

i didn't think i would end up with both and i must admit that i do feel like i've overindulged. i guess i will just have to live with it..

@jjss49 thanks for calling me high class! it shows that you didnt read a word of my original post...but i appreciate it! =)

i am not sure which picture you are referring 2 or even that i had a systems page but i assure you i am no captain. i will follow up though, as ive been listening to the A3s for pretty much a day straight...plopped my desk right in front them basically.

....and i know im a @#$%. i used to hate me...when i had some black device connected to bose 301s that were completely falling apart....but at least im not the guy with 200k system that uses it for an hr of opera on thursday nights. opera guys are the worst....

please know that i am completely joking around...i've always thought the hifi world could benefit from a sense of humor but i realize how easy it is to misinterpret written communication.

the knock on "opera guys" wasnt directed at the genre...  ive met just a few audio enthusiasts (i refuse to repeat how we are normally referred 2) that have these impressive systems but listen to them very little....perhaps "godfather wannabees" is a better term? except w/o the mafia of course. its just that this breed of audio nerd ive met (2 people) listen to opera only...if i was going to go after a genre it would be country of course!

i will compare the 2 speakers as it really is a great comparison of 2 very different designs at similar price points...however i have an issue with my left hand (notice that i dont hit shift in these post) and am a one-handed typer right now. getting pretty good right!?...actually now that i look at the time, nevermind.

oh the desk!...yup! (im such as shift liar!), you called that one.
