In the price range of Magico A5 ; you may look at Audiovector R6 Arreté.
Two fireing down woofers ; two front 6 inchs midrange ; one 3 inchs rear midrange ; and one
AMT tweeter
One pair for sale on Canuck Audio Mart USA
What is your experience with Magico A3 or A5 speakers and the company as a whole?
Just auditioned a pair of Magico A3 and A5 speakers to replace my 20 year old B&W 802D (1st gen diamond).
Does anyone have any experience with either of these speakers since they are not cheap.
Also, not familiar with Magico as a company. Are they reputable, how is their customer service if you have an issue, etc. My electronics are PSaudio, and their customer service is 2nd to none.
Also, how safe is it to have a Beryllium tweeted in my home. I heard that if it breaks it is very dangerous to inhale any dust particles. For instance, Focal Sopra 3 put a metal cage around their Beryllium tweeter to keep probing fingers away from it. But the Magico speaker, it is unprotected. Heck, even the speaker does not come with a dust cover.
Please, any thoughts......and suggestions

@onehorsepony I have had the A3s and moved to the A5s and I am happy with them. I am driving the A5's with Burmester equipment. The A3s were nice but I wanted a more hefty pair. |
After demoing many top speakers at audio stores and shows, Magico and YG resonated with me. Magico is sonically neutral and is on the cutting edge of speaker design and manufacturing. Their factory tour was impressive including using the latest computer analysis tools. Compared to Magico’s other offerings, the small A3 sounded too lightweight for my tastes. The A5 sonically punches above its price point, but when I demoed the A5, it didn’t sound great commonly due to poor hotel room conditions The most important thing is to find a speaker that subjectively personally resonates with you. Also think about accompanying electronics to match the speakers. |
