Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@prof Loved reading your thoughts here. It is those comments about the Perspective that have me so intrigued despite not being able to listen to them before purchasing. That tone and the ability to immersiveness is something that I am looking for ... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@steakster  No, I am out in Seattle. I see a pair in CA though that I could look at if I am interested in going that route. The Sabrina's were pretty darn impressive.  
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@prof thanks for your feedback - you may be the first person that has indicated that you have heard all three. I would love your feedback if you want to elaborate more. It sounds like your preference is the Joseph Audio's and that they have that a... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@drrsutliff Totally fair. I think it depends on preference at this point. From what I have heard first hand, both are fantastic speakers. Different strengths but neither have a weakness (in my view). The A3 I was able to try with my Line Magnetic ... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@drrsutliff Sounds like the D9's will incorporate all the good stuff of the D7's but fill in that low end with a lot more authority. If that is the case, it is really hard to find a fault with these speakers. The sound between the A3's and the Spe...

@soix I see another used pair much closer to me for the same price. I am thinking about it... The dealer had them powered on a 40W Naim Uniti Atom and there was no issue with dynamics. Sounded great.  
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@drrsutliff Agreed with your impressions on the highs and midrange as on the D7's. I do hope and can only imagine that the D9's would be much better in the low end. Were you able to listen to the D7's for a comparison prior to your purchase? 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
Heard the Spendor D7's today. Quite impressed at the performance in the high range - airy yet clear with good detail (falls short of the A3 here but it is enough). The midrange is beautifully smooth and lush. Bass on the D7's was good but not ey... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@soix I'm looking for a speaker that has lots of clarity and detail but with no shrillness in the highs that would cause fatigue. Looking for more of a full/rich midrange for those vocals but also some punchy, quick bass as well. Likely my descrip... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
@drrsutliff I keep hearing about that magical midrange on the Spendors and I have to say that I am intrigued. How are you enjoying your D9s? Do you use a subwoofer with yours? How would you describe performance in the highs? 
Any Spendor D9 owners out there?
Intrigued by the Spendor D9's. Comparing them against the Magico A3 and Joseph Audio Perspectives, if one were craving great clarity, sweet/musical mid-range and tight bass, which would you choose?

Brought my LM 805ia to test on the Magico A3's today and wow. It sounded (to my ears) so much better than with the Hegel gear that the Magico's were being demo'd with. No issues with driving the A3's on the 805ia at all. Even the shop owner acknow...

@avanti1960 I tend to agree with you on the looks of the Tekton's. Not my cup of tea.

Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???
@1graber2 Thanks for the response! I have started to move away from the Oppo now. I found it to be a great piece of hardware and I don't have an issue with it at all however I got a PS Audio Directstream Junior streamer/DAC and that has been fanta...
