| Considering moving on from B&W... @ddafoe I used to own a Ferrari, but my made in China Yuan SUV is so much more comfortable 🙄 | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @nyev FWIW, I find the Valhalla and the Odin speaker wire to be dreadful on the A5. If you missed bass, that would be the reason. They work better on speakers with too much bass, like the B&W and the Wilson. Next time try and listen to the A... | |
| Magico S3 mkII It's the internet, don't believe everything you read/hear. My friend had replaced both tweeters on his M3 himself, with great support from his dealer and Magico. My dealer also confirmed that this report does not match his experience. | |
| Magico S3 mkII My dealer told me that they are working on the Mk3, scheduled for later this year. | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? There is no reason for an inert, stiff enclosure to be inferior, all things equal, and assuming it is indeed inert and stiff. Any matters of teste will not change that. | |
| Warning for Revel lovers I thought that these speakers not made anymore. Hope you get your money back. | |
| Paper Based Speaker Cone Question A well damped pistonic (stiff) cone will be superior to any paper cone. | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? The A5 are magnificent. I am still looking forward to every listening session almost a year after I got them. It’s in the subtleties that keep on coming. Unlike so many others "impressive" speakers that just lay everything they have on you from th... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! Brings back a lot of memories. One had to start somewhere :) | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? @mozartfan dont like the myriad of soft tweeters speakers (of differing materials) I’ve heard as they dont get brass instruments and cymbals right with the proper metallic clang ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Problem w all dome tweeters is the fact ,... | |
| Wilson Audio Tunetot Loudspeakers Reviewed ! Another great review "Quad ESL 57's GOOD" LOL, Ken Kessler is the epitome of everything that is wrong with hifi reviewers. Just look at the measurements, you will have to try super hard to mess up a 2-way like that. | |
| Yg carmel 2 owners Maybe price wise, but not performance. The A5 is in another realm, and as time goes by, I only realize it more. Typically I start to hear the issues and get restless, didn't happen yet. YMMV. | |
| Yg carmel 2 owners I replaced the Carmel 2 with the Magico A5, which are close in price. I liked the Carmel, but the A5 are in a whole different category (no sub needed), more appropriate to compete with the Hailey, at almost twice the money. | |
| Magico vs the world 1. No 2. Hardwood floor, supplied spikes and floor savers. 3. I did. The A5 is better across the board. It's a safe upgrade. | |
| Magico vs the world Happy owner of an A5. Best speakers I ever had. I had a ~$40K budget for a speaker, couldn't find anything better. YMMV. |
