Magico A5 or KEF blade 2?
A5, 100%. If you are driving your A1 with the Luxman 595, you will have no issues with the A5 which is more efficient. Just upgraded from an A3. I am done for the next 10 years ;)  
Magico A3 price increases 50%+
I also love mine, although I am upgrading to an A5 soon (even a better deal 😉). Funny how the OP whines about XO parts yet overlooks the actual value of these speakers (Pure Be tweeter, Aluminum enclosure, SOTA graphene woofers, with neodymium mot... 
What speaker do you passionately want to demo?
@steve59 I have listened to many loudspeakers, including your KEF. The A5 are incredible loudspeakers and, at their price point, the best I have auditioned. You are not interpreting the measurements correctly, try reading JA comments.  
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
Havocman, are you a reincarnation of urbie? For better camouflage try changing the style as well, not just the user name.Anyway, sorry but I am not impressed by shiny objects, besides, if I wanted a nice piece of furniture, I would buy a “Made in ... 
Magico compared to Tannoy
You can get the Magico and put cotton balls in your ears. It will be the equivalent of listening to the Tannoy.Once in a while, if you feel like hearing what’s on the recording, you have the option of taking the cotton balls out 😉

In case you don't read German, here is an English translation: A Star is Born. "...so close to perfection like no passive speaker in stereoplay before." https://www.magico.net/images/Reviews/A5/Magico%20A5%20stereoplay%202021-06_engl._MM_v2.pdf

That is easy, if you read German: "...so close to perfection like no passive speaker in stereoplay before." https://www.magico.net/images/Reviews/A5/Magico%20A5%20stereoplay%202021-06.pdf

@urbieThank god we are all idiots, and you are so smart (but seems a little poor) 🤣 
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
LOL, no it’s not. The monitor audio Platinum is inferior across the board to the A3. Just look at the built quality, it says it all (and it sounds like plastics as well). Basically a MidFi product at best. 
sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion
I believe that the term ‘brightness’ refers to speaker balance, not tweeter material. 
sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion
The point that the SF's aren't as bright as the Magico's is spot on IMO. Not true in this case. The SF are substantially brighter. You can argue with the HFN lab report if you wish.  
sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion
I heard them, extensively (Distributor here has both Magico and SF).No major minuses on the A series tweeters, you should hear them, they are superb. Not all Be tweeters are created equal (I don’t like the ones in the Focal). If you care for natur... 
sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion
The tweeter in the A series is superb. The new electa amator are not like the old one. They are unbalanced, with glaring highs and wooly bass. Look at their measurements. The tweeter is 10 dB up at 20Khz. Crazy. https://hifinews.com/content/sonus-...

Few years ago in Munich, both the M6 and the Lyra were demoed with Soulution gear. There was a clear consensus as to which room sounded better. I know that Soulution bought an M6 after that show and is now designing and showing with it.
