If you're serious, you really need to buy both so you can A/B them for a couple of months to insure break-in...sure, this requires a decent hand truck and good audio memory, but it can be made easier by installing a set of dual small guage rail tracks maybe bought from a film production gear company. This is the only way to decide between these speakers...utterly worth it.
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.
