mheinze, yes let's look at the build quality the magico is an ugly metal box, the platinum is 11 layers of hand polished lacquer and each enclosure takes 144 hours to make, so I guess you must be blind if you think that ugly metal box looks better then the platinum with Strathsprey leather on the front which is the best leather in the world used by Rolls-Royce and other extremely high-end automobile manufacturers and their driver technology if you've even bother to read the white paper is way ahead of magico. And that beryllium tweeter is bright as hell. But to each his own if that's what you like so be it. The MPD tweeter is the best tweeter in the world right now it goes to 100,000 clean no other tweeter on the market can even come close.
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
