Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30?


Powered by a McIntosh MA12000 in a 14’ (width) x 30’ (depth) x 10.5’ (height) room with concrete floors. Listening is 50% jazz, 10% classical, 25% rock/alt, 15% electronic. Sources are a Dr. Feickert Blackbird/Soundsmith Hyperion analog and Innuos Statement digital.  Ideally, I'd like to eliminate the need for dual subwoofers.

I have never heard the Magicos, but people say many good things about them.  However, I own a pair of Sabrina X's that I just got a month ago. They replaced my Focal Diablo Utopia III's and Joseph Audio Pulsars (using a REL sub).  My dedicated music room is 11x11x11.  I drive them with a Pass Labs 250.8 and an MSB Discrete DAC.  I can say that the Sabrina X's are a fantastic speaker, musical, and easy to drive with my Pass amp.  Great soundstage, great bass even without the sub in my room.  They can be had for about $17K retail, although there is supposedly a 3 month waiting list.  Your room might be big enough for the Wilson Sasha DAW's, which are much more than the Sabrina X's, but you should check with your Wilson dealer.  Your room is large enough that with the Sabrina X's plus a sub, you may hit it just right.  I have never heard the Perspective II's but I love Joseph Audio as well.
