| Best speakers 5k 10 k Magico A1, A3, Vandersteen Treo, Wilson Sabrina (used), KEF LS 5o with R900 Sub,Fritz Carrera, Legacy Signatures, or Elac Adante series, Maggie 3.7 for planer IMHO. All based on room selection, treatment, and front end, amplifier budget | |
| Speaker recommendations for MC275 Definitely a vote for Spender D9’s too, but check out the Magico A-3’s, Wilson Sabrina(used) or KEF LS 5o. The Vandersteen Treo CT should also be considered as well IMHO. You may appreciate the new B&W series as well. IMHO All depending on roo... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Good nod for Merrill, LKV Research, and we personally own Wyred 4 Sound SX1000 Monoblock amps. They have been great for me and our Magico A3's. They have been very reliable and affordable for the performance they give. The SX1000R's are even bette... | |
| Cartridge recommendations Check out the Soundsmith Otello or Carmen. Both are excellent choices. Huge vote for the Ortofon 2M blue, bronze or black depending on how much you decide to spend. Don’t overlook the Sumiko Blue Point. Still a decent value as well. That kind of i... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho We just took delivery on the Magico A3 and it is outstanding in our rig. Wyred 4 Sound Seperates (SX 1000, ST Preamp and DAC 2 DSD. A VPI Prime and Soundsmith Aida are the analog front end along with a Jolida JD5 phono stage. Cables are Morrow SP7... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 We are running Wyred 4 Sound Separates (STP-Pre, SX 1000's) with great results for the A3. Outstanding IMHO. Try their STi Series integrated. Well above what it should be. Big enough to drive anything, detailed enough to get the best out of so muc... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? I think you said it best pokey77. Sounds like Sabrina IS your girl ‘kcpellethead’ It is OK to be smitten with this girl. She is a beautiful work of art, not unlike the A3 we now enjoy. Most important thing go for the gear that grabs your emotion. ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? Interesting you chose the Magico S1, and S3. Both outstanding designs, but DO consider the A3 if you care for that voicing at all. I too really like the Sabrina. But wound up taking delivery on the A3. The A3 sells for quite abit less and has all ... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Check out the Wyred for Sound integrated STI 500 or 1000. We have separates and they are outstanding. High damp factor, pure liquid sound, nothing quite like it. More addicting than good food or beer. Soundstage....check, Bass energy tight and ver... | |
| Magico A3 Thanks so much. Hopefully you will enjoy as well agian soon😎🎼🔊 | |
| Magico A3 Finally here... WORTH the wait!!! SO much detail and finesse. Low end is insane(in a good way) they are easily comparing to KEF reference 3 in terms of extension and I don’t even have 2 hours on these yet. Their soundstage is deep and wide. Wyred ... | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers If you want accurate.....KEF LS 5o, or a little more sensitive....Wilson Duette, depending on budget. Any Elac will also do if you are trying to stay on a reasonable budget(under 1K) a pair. At 2k, the Legacy Studio also comes into play as well. A... | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Don't forget Silverline Audio....also outstanding value in his products as well as the others already mentioned. | |
| Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect Morrow Audio MA-3 or MA-4, | |
| "10 Recommended Turntables".... VPI player.., costs 1 k but still WAY COOL. Shinola run-well, costs more but still an ultimate retro choice. The Cliffwood is also sweet. Crosley... maybe their take on the Pro-ject Debut Carbon Esprit might work. Rega RP1- probably among the few ... |
