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.

The A5’s would be my first choice also, but I  never heard, seen or read a Review of nor do I know anyone who has heard the new PSA speakers. I’m sure they are good, but I don’t want to be the first kid on the block to have them.

All the best.

I assume that you've tried planar and don't like them. But if not, the big Magnepans would be worth a listen.

Is your system located in an unfinished basement or garage?  I would imagine concrete floor would reflect sound and create echos.

Everyone, I appreciate all the feedback.  I was able to hear the Magicos locally and pulled the trigger.  Different room and components but WOW.  3-6 month backorder.  

@ larry5729 - I live in a loft apartment (old furniture warehouse).  Rugs, drapes and upholstered furniture do a decent job of cutting down on the room effects, but I'm going to look into some additional treatments.
