Funny as I heard the Magico A3 at Axpona and did not think they sounded as good in any way as my Magico S3. I just sold the S3 s and bought Persona 5F and they absolutely destroy the Magico's. Dynamics,details in live music like room ambiance that...

Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc.
Get the grills off the speakers!!! All Fixed. My S3 are different speakers with grills on and off. That's why they are optional.

Please pm me your email and I will send you a copy of the owners manual. You receive the link when you register your speakers with Magico. Magicos speakers are anything but bright.
