| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! not really. A quick search shows that a few years ago the CS5i were going for only under 4k bucks which would also be negotiable.https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/169027/fs-thiel-cs5i-speakersThere are plenty of big heavy objects you can buy ... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @dht4me you could use marble or concrete like the Thiel Audio CS5i. There is nothing special about aluminium.

| All New Acoustic Energy AE520 Flagship Loudspeakers // The Carbon Fiber Giant Killers ?! Even the very small and much cheaper Acoustic Energy AE500 has better sound quality than these other raved high-end speakers Thats just your opinion. Others may disagree. | |

| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! glupson I dare you to prove to me right now that the Magico has better measurements than a cheap speaker.
