I have heard various Magico and Von Schweikert speakers, although I don't recall the specific models. The Magicos sounded okay, but, I did not find them that musically engaging (they seemed a bit lacking in dynamics at my preferred (lower) volume level for listening).
I have, not that long ago, heard the Avior II and I liked them. They are decent sounding speakers, but again, not quite lively enough for my taste. A nice choice, nonetheless, among conventional speakers. I think some of the higher end Vandersteens should be something to look into, and those should be easy to locate for an audition.
Given the price range you are shopping in, it might make sense to wait until you can attend a show that offers a wide enough array of candidates.
