I have had the pleasure of owning Magico S3s and now own Monitor Audio PL 200IIs. I enjoyed/enjoy them both. I found myself adjusting to both quickly. I have been more of a MA person having owned their gold and silver line speakers. Truth be told. I sold the S3s when the updated version came out so I could get the max value. I was a bit annoyed as I bought the S3s a few months before the new and improved S3s were released. If I knew that was going to happen I would have waited to buy them. My dealer played stupid. Oh and Magico jacked up the price by $5K on a pair. MA Platinums are gorgeous and perform well. They put a lot of R&D into all their speakers.
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
I am looking to upgrade my Triangle Cellos. My shortlist was
Magico A3, Triton Reference, Monitor PL300 II, I Magico S3 II, Dynaudio Contour 60, Spendor D9, Canton K3, Focal Sopra. (I have not auditioned the MA Platinum or the Dynaudio).
My shortlist now is: Monitor Audio Platinum II and Magico A3. The Monitor Audio was a Stereophile Product of the year in 2017. I listen to most music types except Jazz and Country & Western.
I would be interested to hear experiences about any of the speakers. I have, as mentioned, auditioned but have not heard them in my own home. TIA
