What is your experience with Magico A3 or A5 speakers and the company as a whole?

@deep_333 ​Magico is formulaic and safe for a not so nitpicky guy...They sound a bit unnatural, but, better than Wilson and some others.

Blanket statements like this do not reflect all user's experience.  In fact quite the opposite.  I find Wilson much better than Magico to my ears.  I thought the A3 were flat and uninvolved. ​​​​​​

I think the Magicos are fatiguing with a little hard upper end. But that’s just my opinion😀 

I would suggest to listen to Radiant Acoustic 6.2 which is much more musical to my ears. 

Whatever you choose just trust your own ears 😀 

The B&W’s are a bit more efficient than Magico, like 5 db at 1 watt. I’ve read on these forums and others that Magico uses klippel to build the most measurably accurate speakers that listeners who don't like them say is because they have no dynamics, dull, lifeless, flat etc. IME with other inefficient speakers HUGE power reserves often compensates for the lack of dynamics, but I’ve got no experience with Magico.  The D4 line of B&W is getting praise for being so enjoyable to listen to folk don’t care if they deviate from measurably accurate. 

  2 brands with opposite priorities that are both on top of their game and as it’s your money YOU get to decide, have fun with it.

I don’t think you will like Magico A3 as a replacement for your B&Ws.
Completely different sound. Where B&Ws are lively and dynamic, Magico A3 is darker and not as natural sounding. I have not heard the A5s but supposedly they’re better. 
If you like B&W sound, stick with B&W. If you are looking for something with natural tone and lively character outside of the B&W lineup, look into Wilson Audio, Marten or the upper tier Sonus Faber which are slightly warmer but still very natural and dynamic.
