Your Pick Between These Two...


Room acoustics/size, equipment and musical tastes, all relative, which would you chose?

Joseph Audio Perspectives or Magico A3's

I'll leave it open, as I know there will be a multitude of other offerings. All other suggestions are greatly welcomed as long as you feel they may compete with all the requirements and SQ of the two originals in question. Particularly, if they come in under priced!

Thanks

What amp do you have nobody knows yet, this should be the first criteria, before any suggestions are made.

As the Magico’s need an amp with guts (current) as they are 3ohms in most of the bass/upper bass and also 3ohms in the upper mids.

Where the Perspectives are an easy load and don’t need a muscle amp.

Not to say you need a lot of watts with the Magico’s at 87db a 100w will do, but it need to be a muscular amp that can do current into 2ohms to be comfortable.

The Perspectives how ever are an easy load, but are only 84db and would like an amp of 150w or more, but it can be a light weight mosfet, tube or even a Class-D, my preference in that order.
