sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion

Hi,

I'm a bit confused and undecided about which book shelf speakers to choose. Till now I've heard magico A1 live and Proack k1 live, both of them were fantastic, but i think majico A1, in my opinion, sounds better. Unfortunately, i can not listen to the sonus faber elcata amator III it in my country, i can order them, but can't hear them live. I've heard them on video in youtube and i have to say that they seem to be very interesting. Can anyone please advice me, what is the better choice between those two loudspeakers or suggest on any other bookshelf speaker at the price of approximately 10.000$.

Thanks a lot. 

If its important for the decision, I'm planning to buy a vac phi 170 iQ monoblocks. Thanks again.

Hey,

I heard the Magico A1 several times, I did not hear the Sonus Faber speakers.

You will need to buy grills for the A1 and a healthy amplifier, that can withstand at least 100 watts per channel at 4 ohms, ֱas the speakers are very low efficiency (82 db).

The bass of the A1 is excellent, as is the treble which lacks a bit of openness. The speakers have a hollow in the upper mid-lower treble area (2-4 thousand Hz), which makes the sound a bit backward. The sound is smoothly extended, a very good speakers that require thought and money investment.
