All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!
I run my A3, which is less efficient than the A5 with Pass INT-250. That is a 250 watt amp. No problem. 
Best 40 to 50k used speakers
+1The A5 made a much more expensive Wilson sound like a boombox.Even the dealer that was trying hard to sell the Wilson to me had to agree.

You can, of course, believe what you want, but the fact is that these are extraordinary at any price.

A loudspeaker is not a musical instrument 😒 
All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!
I auditioned the A5 last week, it is mind-blowing good. The dealer had a very well-known ~50K€ speakers on demo he was trying to sell me at a “loss”. He eventually had to agree that the A5 blows it away, at half the price. I now have to figure out... 
Magico A3
Precisely my observation, the best hi-fi buy I ever made. 
Y No YG ?
Please don't put words in my mouth, I do not like  paper drivers. Composite can mean many things, CF sandwich cones, like the Magico cones, are also a composite.     
Y No YG ?
Not my experience, and cut paper is still paper (only cut ;)). Similar drivers on the Wilson models, not my cup of tee (and in an MDF box, no thanks). I am a recording artist; I need to hear what I am doing, not to beautify (mask) everything. Sorr... 
Y No YG ?
Did not hear any resonance, it may very well be the room you were in.Small 2-ways, that will go low, can’t  be efficient. As far as Fritz, I will only say that I am done with paper cones and silk domes. Once you move away from that lack of transpa... 
Integrated for bi-amping with AtmaSphere MA1s
I am very happy with my Pass INT-250. For the money, it will be hard to beat 
Y No YG ?
That is simply not true; the impedance (and efficency) is rather similar. I have listened to the Carmel and the S1, the S1 is much better in all aspect, and it is cheaper. It goes lower, it plays louder, and it was sweeter with more extension on t... 
Looking at Focal
Magico are a better speakers, and I hear that the A5 is game changer   https://www.soundstageglobal.com/index.php/product-debuts/magico-a3-december-2017/739-magico-a3-loudspeaker-the-sound  
Upgrading from Sonus Farmer Venere 3.0
Very interesting, I have always experienced a change in bass quality as volume increases in vented loudspeakers, can you please share a link to where you read that? I do not notice any change in my sealed A3 (although I did manage to “bottom” them... 
Your Pick Between These Two...
Lots of opinions, but hardly any firsthand experience. I have the Magico A3 for almost two years now. The A3’s are superb, but if you are like so many here who prefer colored sound, and that is fine, you may want to go elsewhere. You need to try... 
Magico vs the world
Will be hard to beat the A3 at its price point, I have looked long and hard.The YG are very nice, but I don’t think they are great value, my A3, to my ears, get me as close to the music at 1/4 the price (in Europe). The built quality is also super...
