Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD

How long of a delay?

Thanks for all of the great feedback.  I am going to try to get some dealer demos set up.  I am in western NY and may have to do some driving.

Sounds like the SF may be a safe choice base on looks and sound.  There is a local dealer but he does not have the Serafino in stock.

The Magico is an interesting option.  I will need to hear that one prior to purchase.

I will keep everyone posted.

I found a dealer about 60 mins away that carries all 3 brands.

I am going to set up a demo.  I will let you all know how it works out.

Thanks for all the suggestions I will listen to my 3 and anything else they have at the stero shop I am going to.  They have mcintosh as well so I should be able to get a setup close to mine.

LOL I have Revel 228BE and enjoy them.

I will probably buy new for speakers.

Will do ..... Has anyone tried the Mcintosh MEN220 (room perfect) DSP?

It runs about 5K and may be a first step to see what it would do to my 228BEs
