Sonus Faber Electa Amator III with Hegel at RMAF
You would most likely prefer the match between the Hegel and the Sonus or the Joseph's. The Magico's Beryillium/Diamond tweeter is going to be a bit forward with the Hegel which tends towards the clean and visceral sounding. The combination of the clean, dynamic with excellent bass control of the Hegel works wonders with the liquid sound of the Sonus. We would say to just go for it if you loved the sound you will already, know what you are going to get. Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ |
@daveyf Some people on AG heard the A3 being “dark”. Some heard it bright and forward, shouldn’t you listen to it on the Hegel first before you speculate? I own it. It is neither dark nor forward and does sound very natural on the Hegel (https://www.soundstageglobal.com/index.php/product-debuts/magico-a3-december-2017/739-magico-a3-loudspeaker-the-sound). |
@mheinze You are right, the OP should absolutely listen to the A1 ( NOT the A3, as he wasn’t asking about that speaker...even though you thought to defend that model, as you own it). I recommended (speculated) what I did because...and here it is...I TOTALLY dislike the hard bright beryllium tweeter that so many folks here like...and that so many manufacturer’s (including Magico) are still using. Could the OP cotton to that tweeter...sure. I strongly suspect that Dave and Troy suggested what they did, for exactly the same reason. They can state that if it is the case. |
