Magico A3 vs Magico S1 MK2

What do you guys think about either of them. I am currently trying to get rid of my BW 702 S2 and thinking about either of them. I have auditioned Magico A3 and liked it a lot. Had auditioned S1 MK2, a while back. I currently have Naim Unity Nova. I like the S1 Mk2 overall except for bass, which A3 does better. A3 is also good on high and meds, but little colored when compared to S1Mk2, which is bit neutral. Am liking both, but want to see if any of you guys have owned either of them and your overall experience.

I appreciate all input. The reason I am intrigued is because s1 mk2 is priced 18k and a3 12k. My dealer is giving a better deal on s1mk2 (less than a3).

OP - I think, honestly, that’s more accurate pricing. The S1 was always, in my mind, overpriced.

Mind you, i’m not saying it sounded bad, but for reasons above, I find it a curious animal. If you like the sound of it, and have lots of power, and space enough to put the speakers out into the room, jump on them.

It is just, in my mind, the most demanding small speaker I've ever seen.
