Rockport Atria II or Magico A5

I'm considering a change from my Focal Kanta 3s and will be auditioning Rockport Atria IIs and Magico A5s soon.  I've heard the Rockports and Magico S3 IIs together,  but not the A5s. Rockports more than held their own.   

Looking for opinions as to how either the Atrias or A5s would pair with my D'Agostino Progression Integrated and M Scaler/Dave   

My space is 15x21x14 ft and I stream Roon almost exclusively.   

My musical tastes are varied - classical, opera, jazz/blues, classic rock, indie  

I listen at moderate volumes and value clear separation between voices, but with a "coherent" sound overall if that makes sense.  This is what the Rockports seemed to achieve moreso than the Magico as I recall.  

Thanks and stay safe.

Would love to hear a Q7 vs. similarly priced Raidho, may I ask where such a dealer reside?

The A5 are indeed incredible, not just for their price, but at any price. However, you should hear them yourself.
As you can see, people here consistently "reconstruct” false memories. I wouldn’t have much trust in any hearsay comments.

Congratulations on your new speakers.
Both the S1 and the Atria have a bigger midrange driver (more like midbass in the S1), which means not nearly as wide dispersion as the 5” midrange in the A5. I am surprised you found the off-axis response lacking.
