sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion


Hi,

I'm a bit confused and undecided about which book shelf speakers to choose. Till now I've heard magico A1 live and Proack k1 live, both of them were fantastic, but i think majico A1, in my opinion, sounds better. Unfortunately, i can not listen to the sonus faber elcata amator III it in my country, i can order them, but can't hear them live. I've heard them on video in youtube and i have to say that they seem to be very interesting. Can anyone please advice me, what is the better choice between those two loudspeakers or suggest on any other bookshelf speaker at the price of approximately 10.000$.

Thanks a lot. 

If its important for the decision, I'm planning to buy a vac phi 170 iQ monoblocks. Thanks again.

FWIW, when we bought our (original) Electa Amators we were told that the tweeter was the Dynaudio Esotar, which we believe gives them that smooth Sonus Faber sound. I believe later versions were made by Scanspeak. The walnut and marble stands were a positive selling point for us. We have never considered selling them.
I have owned the original Sonus Faber Electa Amators for about thirty years, and can recommend them highly. However, all the magazine reviewers just love those Magicos. You say you have heard them and thought the sound was "fantastic". Why wait, just buy the Magicos! Your ears should be the best judge(s). You'll never have to look back and wonder if you made the right choice.
