sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion
@daveyf It is clear you never heard the A3 or many Rockport models that sound somewhat dark, and super smooth, although they use Be tweeters. A speaker can be dark or bright, hot or dull, regardless of tweeter material. 
Anyone Recently Change to Class D power?
The new Purifi amp is a game changer, just listen to the NAD, you hear it immediately. Not sure I will throw away my CHP but at 1/5 the price, its a no brainer.

@daveyf I don’t think so. If the speakers are voiced dark how can they "lit up' anything? Regardless, you must be lucky as well—hearing materials, but not a 10 dB boost in the highs.

creditingkarma, I have heard the Rockport many times and even owned a pair way back then. Lovely speakers, but ultimately a bit too ‘soft’ for my preferences.BTW, the most impressive part of the A5 is the midrange. The bass is excellent, but the...

@creditingkarma,I am afraid you are indeed mistaken. Both the M and the A-series tweeters are proprietary. These are different from the S series and have a bigger dome, with and without the diamond coating (28mm vs. 26mm) and two completely differ...

Magico M and A series tweeters are proprietary and are not anyone ’modified’ tweeters. This thread has lots of misinformation in it—a pity. There are better forums to explore when it comes to Magico.

BOSE are even cheaper, and much bigger than Monitor audio, they as well beat speakers four and five times the price, and when something goes wrong, they send you a whole new product, not just a driver!
