The SF EA3 is what you heard and liked...nothing wrong in that. The Magico, while it might be a good speaker, would probably be like Dave and Troy stated. Therefore, +1 @ Dave and Troy.
Sonus Faber Electa Amator III with Hegel at RMAF
I spent a day this past weekend at this year's RMAF and was fortunate to listen to Sonus Faber's Electa Amator IIIs that were partnered with Hegel's new 390. I was very impressed especially at how deep the SF EA3s went. They are also a stunning speaker visually! Walnut, Carrera Marble, Leather and Brass! No surprise here.
I have the new Hegel and am looking for a great pair of bookshelf speakers; SF EA3, Magico A1 or JA Pulsar2.
Unfortunately Magico did not bring anything from the A line and while Joseph Audio came he did not have his new Pulsar2 Graphene to demo.
I live in CO and there are no Magico or Joseph Audio dealers locally.
So I either go for the SF EA3 now or try to run into a dealer (or two) that carries the Magico and JA during one of my travels to the West Coast.
Thoughts?
