Glad you got to hear them as there is actually no stocking dealer of the Reference K line in the US with the exception of the bookshelf K9. Up to a three month wait for them to be built and shipped. One dealer in the NE has a pair each of the 1's, 3's and 5's but they are for show only. They seem to get rave reviews from every publication in the EU. After considering taking a chance of the Canton's I bought Verity instead. The D9's do also seem to be a great option. I don't know about availability in NZ but Vandersteen Quatro CT might be an option.
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
