Considering moving on from B&W...

I am not sure Magico A3 is going to be a step in the right direction for you.  Magico’s are great but similar.

if you are looking for the same image with a softer, more musical presentation Wilson Benesch, Joseph Audio, Vandersteen, Verity are all brands I would look at.  These are all “cone and done” speakers and present a similar image.  
 

Ribbons, AMTs, electrostats, planars all deliver a different, more immersive experience.  

At Axpona 2022 the magico I’ve heard are unbelievably good and musical, they are hook will expensive gear and synergistic cables.Magico Speakers with the right set up and components they will sound musically amazing.Your gear there is a chance they will match the magico.

Jof stick with Magico   Audition if you can .they are world class speakers.

My advice is to have a long auditioning session.  Here's my rationale

B&Ws were something I once aspired to buy and I listened to PSB and eventually Sonus faber - I went with Sonus faber.

And there's some many excellent speakers I think it's virtually impossible to hear them all.  With Magico's reputation if you like the sound and a few years down the road your tastes change I am confident someone will want your Magico.

I've enjoyed listening to DeVore, Wilson, Splendor, ProAc - but I am very fond of my Sonus faber.  If you can audition them easily listen to as many speakers as you can.

I would love to, but being in Alabama can make it really hard to audition speakers. Funny thing happened, When I posted this topic, it was while my new preamp and processor were in route. I have had the McIntosh C2700 for about week now the D3's sound like totally different speakers. I am going to wait a while and see how the C2700 and the new Anthem processor play wit the D3's.
