All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!

Speaking of even handed, let me tell you stories about the Magico fanboys and how they react to even the mildest criticism of their brand...

Hi @daveyf,
I know nothing about Magico’s impedance curve, but generally I think the answer to that question is most audiophiles get turned on by hard to drive speakers for two reasons:

1 - The myth that a speaker that can make the the difference between two amps current capabilities apparent also means the speaker is more resolving of music. It isn’t.



2 - Bragging rights.



To be fair, it really is hard to get enough bass and sensitivity out of your average 2.5 way speaker without a low impedance point, so I can understand how some speaker designs just naturally push this requirement, but I also see some manufacturers who go this route and then discover it’s a selling point.

I have deleted my first post so I don't further misinform the buying public.

My bad.

DOH!!! My apologies, my apologies, mea culpa.

I meant I heard the S5.  I am chagrined.

Hey Henry,

I did!

We have the Magico A5 speakers paired with a Bryston 4B3 amplifier and it sounds excellent with tight and authoritative bass

Well that’s pretty cool, I’ve only heard them with new Mark Levinson amps and I don’t think I’d recommend that combo.
