Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9


Hi All,

I have been doing some research over the past while and am currently in the midst of a search for my next floorstanding speaker that costs around ~$10k. My other thread that I posted in this forum gave me a lot to consider. Rather than post there, I figured a most focused thread would be a good idea. Now, I have distilled my choices to these 3 choices... I think.

Power: I will be powering the speakers with a SET amp (48W per channel).
Sources: Most of my sources are digital (Roon/Tidal). I mostly listen to jazz, classical and female vocals. I would appreciate a speaker that provides that good, snappy bass where I don't need a subwoofer.
Room: Large room (will be in the living room that opens up to the kitchen and then the dining room). Aesthetics do matter here.

I have received a ton of help through the forums already during my search and have now narrowed down my speaker choices to (in no particular order):

  • Magico A3 - No issues driving these speakers with my amp. Tested and they sounded wonderful. Very analytical and super clear details. Tight bass as well but maybe more weighted in the clarity/details than warmth, even with my tube amp.
  • Joseph Audio Perspective - No dealers in WA or OR so no way to test these but have heard wonderful things about these speakers. Sounds like imaging/sound stage is a strong suit along with clarity. I wonder how bass performance is though as these have smaller woofers compared to my other choices.
  • Spendor D9 - Have not heard these speakers yet but am trying to find a local dealer that has them in stock.
Another one that I am still thinking about is the Daedalus Argos but I would like to hear some feedback on the top 3 at this time.

Thanks!

Congrat's on your purchase freesole hope you enjoy them.  Let us know how the bass works out in your room with your gear.
I do not think you will be disappointed. Please update us on their arrival. Which finish did you select?  Breakin was about 50 hours but they sounded very good from the moment they were connected.  

@drrsutliff I got the dark walnut finish. Counting down the hours to the weekend when I pick them up! I have heard that after a few months, they sound incredible but that they do sound great right out of the box as well. Either way, I'm excited to find out. 
I have seen the Walnut in a D1 and it was very nice.  I choose the basic Cherry as it works with my cherry trimmed rack and other wood in the room.  Enjoy.  Make sure to get some sleep after they arrive...
   @ twoleftears : Could you please explain a bit why you preferred the Spendor Classic 100 to the D7? How would you describe the sound of the Classic 100? Thanks a lot!   Sorry everyone for the offtopic. I'm highly interested in the above mentioned Spendor Classic 100 and there is very little information online about their sound...
