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):
Thanks!

- 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.
Thanks!

: 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... |
